BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) are members of the Paramyxovirinae subfamily of the Paramyxoviridae family of viruses. Paramyxoviruses are enveloped viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm and bud at the plasma membrane and have a single-stranded negative-sense non-segmented RNA genome of approximately 13-19 kb. HPIVs are important pathogens in human populations, causing severe lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children. Human parainfluenza virus type 1 (HPIV1) and type 2 (HPIV2) are the principal etiologic agents of laryngotracheobronchitis (croup) and also cause pneumonia and bronchitis (Chanock et al., 2001, Parainfluenza Viruses 4th Ed., Knipe et al. eds., Lippincott (Philadelphia, Pa.) 1341-1379). Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) is a leading cause of hospitalization for viral lower respiratory tract disease in infants and young children (Chanock et al., 2001, supra). HPIVs are also important causes of respiratory tract disease in adults. Collectively, HPIV1, HPIV2, and HPIV3 have been identified as the etiologic agents responsible for approximately 18% of hospitalizations for pediatric respiratory disease (Murphy et al., 1988, Virus Res., 11:1-15). HPIVs have also been implicated in a significant proportion of cases of virally induced middle ear effusions in children with otitis media (Heikkinen et al., 1999, N. Engl. J. Med., 340:260-264).
Despite considerable efforts, there are currently no parainfluenza virus vaccines available. Attenuated paramyxoviruses suitable for use in vaccines are currently under development. Two live attenuated HPIV3 vaccine candidates, a temperature sensitive (ts) derivative of the wild type HPIV3 JS strain and a bovine PIV3 strain, are currently being tested. (Karron et al, Pediatric Infectious Dis. J., 15:650, 1996; Karron et al, J. Infect. Dis., 171:1107, 1995; Karyon et al., J. Infect. Dis., 172:1445, 1995). A chimeric PIV1 vaccine candidate has been generated by replacing the PIV3 HN and F open reading frames with those of PIV1 in a PIV3 full length cDNA (Tao et al., 2000a). A chimeric HPIV3 bearing the glycoproteins of HPIV2 was also generated previously (Tao et al., 2000b). Attenuated HPIV2 strains have previously been made by introducing mutations into the L protein (WO 04/027037). Recombinant viruses include HPIV3 recombinant viruses having three identified mutations in the L gene. (Skiadopoulos et al, J. Virol. 72:1762, 1998; Tao et al, J. Virol. 72:2955, 1998; Tao et al, Vaccine, 17:1100, 1999). These live attenuated vaccine candidates can induce protection against HPIV infection in some experimental animal models. (Karyon et al, J. Infect. Dis., 172:1445, 1995b; Skiadopoulos et al, Vaccine 18:503, 1999; Skiadopoulos, Virology, 297: 136, 2002). However immunity to previous HPIV3 infection could limit the use of chimeric HPIV3 vaccines bearing heterologous HPIV1 or HPIV2 glycoproteins. Strategies to develop live viral vaccines are important in the design of safe and stable viral vaccine candidates.
In addition to providing possible vaccine candidates for protection against parainfluenza virus infection and disease, candidate vaccines may also be useful in expressing heterologous antigens. Studies demonstrate that foreign genes may be inserted into a paramyxovirus genome and are well expressed. (Bukereyev et al, J. Virol., 70:6634, 1996; Hassan et al, Virology, 237:249, 1997; Jin et al, Virology 251:206, 1998; Schmidt et al., 2001; Skiadopoulos et al., 2002). However, in order to develop vectors for vaccine use, more than a high level of protein expression is required. Factors in the design of a vector for delivery of heterologous antigens include viral host range, immunogenicity, and pathogenicity. Some negative strand viruses are undesirable as vectors because of their pathogenicity, such as measles and rabies virus.
Thus, there remains a need to develop effective immunogenic compositions to alleviate health problems associated with HPIV viruses and other pathogens, and to immunize against multiple HPIV serotypes. There is also a need to develop immunogenic compositions to deliver heterologous antigens.

The invention provides self-replicating, infectious, recombinant paramyxoviruses (PIV), methods of making the paramyxoviruses of the invention, and uses thereof. The PIV of the invention can have one or more amino acid or nucleic acid mutations that confer an attenuated phenotype. In some embodiments, the number of nucleotides inserted or deleted is such that the total number of nucleotides in the variant viral genome is divisible by six (known as the “rule of six”). The mutation can be stabilized by at least two changes in the codon specifying the mutation. The PIV of the invention can be human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), such as for example HPIV2. In an embodiment, the PIV of the invention comprise a nucleotide sequence having at least 80% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:1.

The mutation can be amino acid or nucleic acid substitution(s) or deletion(s). Preferably, the number of nucleotides inserted or deleted is such that the total number of nucleotides in the variant viral genome is divisible by six. The mutation can be stabilized by at least two changes in the codon specifying the mutation. In some embodiments, the V protein comprises one or more amino acid substitutions at or between amino acid residues corresponding to a position 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 105, 106, 107, 108, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, or mixtures thereof, or any one of the amino acids of 174-225 of SEQ ID NO:45. The polynucleotide encoding the V protein can include a mRNA editing site having a heptaguanosine run. The heptaguanosine run can be substituted such that editing of V gene mRNA is inhibited.
The variant polynucleotide encoding the P protein can comprise a P ORF having one or more nucleotide substitutions wherein the substitution(s) introduces one or more stop codons in an overlapping V ORF reading frame but does not alter the amino acid sequence of P protein encoded by the variant polynucleotide encoding the P protein. The polynucleotide encoding the protein can include a mRNA editing site having a heptaguanosine run. One or more nucleotides can be inserted into the mRNA editing site such that the nucleotide sequence encoding a carboxy-terminal of P protein is in frame. The heptaguanosine run can be substituted such that editing of P gene mRNA is inhibited.

FIG. 3A shows a partial nucleotide sequence comparison (antigenomic-sense) of the 3′ leader (nt 1-30) of a biologically derived, low-passage HPIV2 V98 (SEQ ID NO:18) strain, two different preparations (V94(a) (SEQ ID NO:19) and V94(b) (SEQ ID NO:20) of the biologically derived V94 strain of HPIV2, and the recombinant V94 consensus cDNA sequence (SEQ ID NO:12). Nucleotide position 15 (bolded and underlined) is the only position found to vary in these virus preparations.
FIG. 3B shows sequence electropherograms from uncloned RT-PCR products derived from primary isolates of virus recovered from the lower respiratory tract of four African green monkeys infected with V94 (preparation a). The sequence obtained from V94(a) passaged in LLC-MK2 cells was used as a control.
FIGS. 4A-B show a diagrammatic representation of the genomic organization of wild type HPIV2 V94. In FIG. 4A, individual genes are shown as boxes separated by gene-start (GS) and gene-end (GE) signals for each gene, which are shaded in gray and black, respectively. The 3′ extragenic leader and 5′ extragenic trailer regions are indicated. The exploded view in FIG. 4A shows the nucleotide sequence in the region of the editing site in unedited mRNA encoding V protein (top sequence; SEQ ID NO:46) and the nucleotide sequence in the edited mRNA that includes two inserted G residues and encodes the P protein (bold, bottom sequence; SEQ ID NO:47). The sequence is in antigenomic sense and is arranged by codon triplets. Codons 164 and 165 are numbered. Codon 164 encodes the last common amino acid in the N-terminal half of the P and V polypeptides. Codon 165 and all subsequent codons encode amino acids of the distinct C-terminal portions of the P and V proteins. FIG. 4B shows a diagrammatic representation of the P and V polypeptides including the common amino-terminal domains (white box) and distinct carboxy-terminal domains (hatched boxes), numbered according to the amino acid sequence.

FIG. 5C shows the details of the construction of separate polynucleotides encoding P protein and V protein in the mutant rV94 P+V genome (SEQ ID NO: 1). Sequences are in antigenomic sense and numbered according to their position in the rV94 P+V antigenomic sequence. The exploded view of the polynucleotide encoding P protein (top) shows the P ORF and flanking sequence showing the positions of the introduced AscI, BstEII and Agel sites, a 4-nucleotide insert introduced to maintain the “rule of six”, and the naturally-occurring P gene-end signal. The exploded view of the polynucleotide encoding the V protein (bottom) shows the V ORF and flanking sequence showing the positions of the introduced BstEII and SacII sites, as well as a gene junction including a gene-end signal, intergenic, and gene-start signal positioned with 6n+1 phasing. The “rule of six” refers to the finding that replication of the genomes of most or all members of Paramyxovirinae is efficient only if the nucleotide length of the genome is an even multiple of six, a requirement that is thought to reflect the intimate association of each N protein monomer with exactly six nucleotides (Kolakofsky et al, J. Virol. 72, 891-899, 1998).
FIG. 6 shows the common amino acid domains (white box) and distinct carboxy-terminal domains (hatched boxes) of P protein and V protein. The exploded view shows the sequence modifications introduced into the wild type P/V ORF to create a V ORF that expresses only V protein and a P ORF that expresses only P protein. Silent third base codon substitutions in the editing site are underlined and in bold type. The top sequence (V ORF in rV94 P+V) shows modifications introduced into the editing site of the modified V gene that inactivate the editing site and allow for expression of V protein only (SEQ ID NO:9). The middle sequence (P/V ORF in wt V94) shows unedited wild type P/V sequence, including the wild type editing site (SEQ ID NO:8). The bottom sequence (P ORF in V94 P+V) shows modifications introduced into the wild type P/V ORF that allow for expression of P protein and not the V protein. The 2 nucleotides (TG) inserted into the editing site to access the 3′-terminal half of the P ORF are indicated by the arrows (; SEQ ID NO: 10). Proposed third base codon substitution mutations (underlined and in bold type) that introduce stop codons in the V ORF reading frame (V ORF codon positions 167, 176, 184, and 186 are boxed) but do not alter the P protein sequence are shown. Dashed lines show the relative positions of the silent third codon mutations in P protein. Solid lines show the relative positions of the stop codons in V protein.
FIG. 7A shows agarose gel electrophoresis analysis of RT-PCR products obtained from vRNA purified from V94 or rV94 P+V infected cells, or PCR product generated from the antigenomic V94 P+V cDNA (pFLC V94 P+V) using a sense oligonucleotide (V94, nucleotides 395-425) and an antisense oligonucleotide (V94, nucleotides 3567-3598). The predicted size for the PCR product obtained from wild type V94 is 3203 bp. The predicted size of the PCR product obtained from the P+V gene rearrangement for both rV94 P+V and pFLC V94 P+V is 3899 bp.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
I. Definitions
Paramyxovirus as used herein refers to a paramyxovirus of the Paramyxovirinae subfamily of the Paramyxoviridae family. Paramyxoviruses are enveloped viruses that have a single strand of negative sense RNA of approximately 13 to 19 kb as a genome. Examples of paramyxoviruses include, but are not limited to, human parainfluenza virus (HPIV) including types 1, 2, 3, 4A, and 4B (HPIV1, HPIV2, HPIV3, HPIV4A, and HPIV4B, respectively), mouse parainfluenza type 1 (Sendai virus, MPIV1), bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3), simian virus 5 (SV5), simian virus 41 (SV41), and mumps virus. HPIV1, HPIV3, MPIV1, and BPIV3 are classified in the genus Respirovirus. HPIV2, HPIV4, SV5, SV41, and mumps virus are classified in the genus Rubulavirus. MPIV1, SV5, and BPIV3 are animal counterparts of HPIV1, HPIV2, and HPIV3, respectively (Chancock et al., Parainfluenza Viruses, Knipe et al. (Eds.), pp. 1341-1379, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2001). HPIV1, HPIV2, and HPIV3 represent distinct serotypes and do not elicit significant cross immunity. HPIVs are etiological agents of respiratory infections such as croup, pneumonia, or bronchitis.
The term “human parainfluenza virus type 2” or “HPIV2” refers to an isolate, clone, recombinant, or variant of human parainfluenza virus type 2 of the Paramyxovirinae subfamily. A “naturally occurring” isolate or “wild type” HPIV2 is a virus isolated from a natural source or has the sequence of a HPIV2 isolated from a natural source. Naturally occurring isolates may differ from one another in sequence. In some embodiments, a naturally occurring isolate of HPIV2 of the invention has at least 90% nucleic acid sequence identity to HPIV2 strain V94 (SEQ ID NO:4; Table 6; Genbank Accession No. AF533010). “Recombinant HPIV2” refers to virus derived from a polynucleotide that has been constructed to encode a HPIV genome or antigenome, and may include a sequence of a wild type or variant HPIV2. In some embodiments, the recombinant HPIV2 comprises an expression vector.
The HPIV2 genome encodes at least seven polypeptides. The ribonucleocapsid-associated polypeptides include the nucleocapsid protein (N) (Table 9; SEQ ID NO:16), the phosphoprotein (P) (Table 10; SEQ ID NO:15), and the large polymerase (L) protein (Table 11; SEQ ID NO:17) that carry out transcription and replication. Similar to other Rubulaviruses, the P/V gene of HPIV2 includes an alternative open reading frame (ORF) that is accessed by a shift in reading frame mediated by cotranscriptional editing to generate the mRNA encoding P protein. The unedited mRNA encodes the V protein. The internal matrix protein (M) and the major protective antigens, fusion glycoprotein (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein (HN), are envelope-associated proteins. The gene order is 3′-N-P/V-M-F-HN-L-5′. A HPIV2 encoding polynucleotide can be isolated from infected humans or cells or can be prepared as described herein.
“Variants” of HPIV refer to a virus that has a genomic sequence that differs from the sequence of a reference virus. In some embodiments, a variant may be prepared by altering or modifying the nucleic acid sequence of the viral genome by addition, substitution, and deletion of nucleotides. As discussed previously, it is preferred that variants that have a modification due to addition or deletion of nucleotides conform to the rule of six. In some embodiments, variants may be obtained by passage of a viral particle or genome in vitro in a host cell or in vivo in a non-human host. In some embodiments, the number of nucleotides inserted or deleted is such that the total number of nucleotides in the variant viral genome is divisible by six (known as the “rule of six”).
In some embodiments, the variants have at least one altered phenotype. The altered phenotypes can include, without limitation, a change in growth characteristics, attenuation, temperature sensitive growth, cold adaptation, plaque size, host range restriction or a change in immunogenicity.

The term “antigenome” means a viral RNA molecule or DNA molecule complementary to the negative sense single stranded viral RNA genome.
A paramyxovirus that is “attenuated” or has an “att phenotype” refers to a paramyxovirus that has decreased replication in a mammal as compared to replication of a reference wild-type paramyxovirus under similar conditions of infection. In some embodiments, a paramyxovirus that is attenuated exhibits at least about 10-fold or greater decrease, more preferably at least about 100-fold or greater decrease, more preferably at least about 1000-fold or greater decrease in virus titer in the upper or lower respiratory tract of a mammal compared to non attenuated, wild type virus titer in the upper or lower respiratory tract, respectively, of a mammal of the same species under the same conditions of infection. Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, humans, mice, rabbits, rats, hamsters, such as for example Mesocricetus auratus, and non-human primates, such as for example Ceroptihecus aethiops. An attenuated paramyxovirus may display different phenotypes including without limitation altered growth, temperature sensitive growth, host range restricted growth or plaque size alteration.

An “infectious clone” of a paramyxovirus as used herein refers to a full-length genome or portion of a genome of a paramyxovirus isolate cloned into a replicable vector that provides for amplification of the viral genome in a cell and in some embodiments, results in viral particles. In some embodiments, a portion of the paramyxovirus genome comprises a polyhexameric nucleic acid sequence encoding at least N protein, P protein, and L protein in a single replicable vector. In other embodiments, the viral genome is a full-length genome. The replicable vector provides for introduction and amplification of the viral genome in a wide variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
The term “immunogenic effective amount” of a paramyxovirus, component thereof, or other antigenic determinant refers to an amount of a paramyxovirus, component thereof, or other antigenic determinant that induces an immune response in an animal. The immune response may be determined by measuring a T or B cell response, or by challenging an immunized animal with a virus capable of replicating in the host species. Typically, the induction of an immune response is determined by the detection of antibodies specific for paramyxovirus, a component thereof, or other antigenic determinants.
An “isolated” nucleic acid molecule refers to a nucleic acid molecule that is identified and separated from at least one contaminant nucleic acid molecule with which it is ordinarily associated in the natural source. Preferably, the isolated nucleic is free of association with all components with which it is naturally associated. An isolated nucleic acid molecule is other than in the form or setting in which it is found in nature.
A “monocistronic” polynucleotide refers to a polynucleotide that encodes only one protein. For example, a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding V protein only encodes V protein, it does not encode for both V protein and P protein.
“Percent (%) nucleic acid sequence identity” with respect to the nucleic acid sequences identified herein is defined as the percentage of nucleotides in a candidate sequence that are identical with the nucleotides in a reference paramyxovirus nucleic acid sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. In some embodiments, the reference paramyxovirus nucleic acid sequence is HPIV2 Strain V94 (SEQ ID NO:4). Alignment for purposes of determining percent nucleic acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2 or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full-length of the sequences being compared.
For purposes herein, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of a given nucleic acid sequence A to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given nucleic acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % nucleic acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:

100 times the fraction W/Z

where W is the number of nucleotides scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Z is the total number of nucleotides in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of nucleic acid sequence A is not equal to the length of nucleic acid sequence B, the % nucleic acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % nucleic acid sequence identity of B to A.

“Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” with respect to the amino acid sequences identified herein is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues polypeptide reference sequence, such as for example the amino acid sequence of N protein, P protein, V protein, M protein, F protein, HN, or L protein, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2, clustal V (DNASTAR) or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full-length of the sequences being compared.
For purposes herein, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows:

100 times the fraction X/Y

where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A.

As used herein, “stable” paramyxovirus refers to a paramyxovirus that has a low risk of reversion to a reference virus sequence or phenotype after passaging, infection, or selective pressure. In some embodiments, the reference sequence is the sequence from which an altered or variant paramyxovirus is derived. In other embodiments, the reference sequence or phenotype may be that of a wild type strain such as V94, V98 or Greer. Non-wild type phenotypes include without limitation, a change in growth characteristics, attenuation, temperature sensitive growth, cold adaptation, plaque size, host range restriction or a change in immunogenicity, or mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the mutation is stable if it does not revert to the reference sequence or phenotype after at least 8 in vitro cell culture passages. In some embodiments, the mutation is stable if it does not revert to a reference sequence or phenotype when grown at 38-40° C. In some embodiments, the mutation is stable if it does not revert to a reference sequence or phenotype at least 10 days post-infection of a mammal. Generally, genetic stability increases as the number of nucleotide substitutions increases. For example, a codon substitution that would require 3 nucleotides changes to revert to the wild type or wild type-like codon is more stable than a codon substitution that would require only 1 nucleotide change to revert to the wild type or wild type-like codon. Deletion mutations generally confer a greater level of genetic stability than codon substitutions. For example, deletion of a codon would require insertion of 3 nucleotides to revert to wild type.
“Recombinant” in reference to a polynucleotide refers to a polynucleotide that has been isolated and/or altered by the hand of man and includes recombinant molecules and recombinant viruses. “Recombinant” in reference to a paramyxovirus refers to a virus that is encoded or has been produced from such a polynucleotide. “Recombinant HPIV2 genome or antigenome” or “rHPIV2” refers to a polynucleotide that has been constructed to encode a HPIV strain or variant, and may include a sequence of a wild type or variant HPIV2. In some embodiments, the recombinant HPIV2 genome or antigenome is in the form of a cDNA. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide sequence encoding all or a portion of a paramyxovirus viral genome or antigenome may be isolated and combined with other control sequences in a vector. The other control sequences may be those that are found in the naturally occurring gene or from other sources. The vector provides for amplification of the recombinant molecule(s) in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. It also can provide for introduction into host cells and expression of the polynucleotide. The vectors described herein for recombinant paramyxovirus sequences are introduced into eukaryotic cells and propagated under suitable conditions as known to those of skill in the art, and are introduced into animal cells and expressed under suitable conditions as known to those of skill in the art.
The term “replicable vector,” as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting another nucleic acid to which it has been linked into a cell and providing for amplification of the nucleic acid. One type of vector is a “plasmid”, which refers to a circular double stranded DNA loop into which additional DNA segments may be ligated. Another type of vector is a phage vector. Another type of vector is a viral vector, wherein additional nucleic acid segments may be ligated into the viral genome. Certain vectors are capable of autonomous replication in a host cell into which they are introduced (e.g., bacterial vectors having a bacterial origin of replication and episomal mammalian vectors). Other vectors (e.g., non-episomal mammalian vectors) can be integrated into the genome of a host cell upon introduction into the host cell, and thereby are replicated along with the host genome. In the present specification, “plasmid” and “vector” may be used interchangeably as the plasmid is the most commonly used form of vector. In some embodiments, the vector is a vector that can replicate to high copy number in a cell.
The term “shut-off temperature” refers to a temperature at which the reduction of virus titer compared to its titer at a reference temperature is 100-fold greater than the reduction of wild type virus at the same temperature. In some embodiments, the reference temperature is about 32° C., and the shutoff temperature is about 39° C., more preferably 38° C. or 37° C. A determination of the shut off temperature allows a comparison of the temperature sensitivity of different virus strains or isolates and is often indicative of the level of attenuation. The lower the shutoff temperature the higher the level of attenuation of the paramyxovirus isolate or strain.
The term “transfection” as used herein refers to introducing DNA into a eukaryotic cell so that the DNA is replicable and/or expressed, either as an extrachromosomal element or by chromosomal integrant. Depending on the host cell used, transfection is done using standard techniques appropriate to such cells. Methods for transfecting eukaryotic cells include polyethyleneglycol/DMSO, liposomes, electroporation, and electrical nuclear transport.

II. Aspects of the Invention

Strategies to generate attenuated viruses are important in the design of safe and stable viral constructs useful in an immunogenic composition. The phenotype of a viral isolate or strain may be modified to achieve a balance between attenuation of viral replication and immunogenicity of the modified variant. In some embodiments, viral replication may be decreased about 100 to 1000 fold and yet still retain immunogenicity. In some embodiments, it is desirable to generate an attenuated virus that has at least one temperature sensitive attenuating mutation and one non-is attenuating mutation. Attenuated viruses that have more than one mutation and/or more than one phenotype can have enhanced stability.
The V protein of paramyxoviruses is an attractive target for introduction of one or more mutations. V protein inhibits production of a α/β interferons and decreases signaling of a α/β interferons through their receptors. A paramyxovirus with a modified V protein should have decreased pathogenicity since it may be defective in counteracting host cell interferon response. Replication of paramyxoviruses expressing V protein with a carboxy terminal deletion has been found to be defective in vivo and in vitro, including in Vero cells which do not express antiviral interferons α and β (Kato et al., 1997, Embo J., 16(3):578-587; Delenda et al., 1997, Virology, 228(1):55-62; Durbin et al., 1999, Virology, 261(2):319-330; Kawano et al., 2001, Virology, 284(1):99-112; He et al., 2002, Virology, 303(1):15-32; Park et al., 2003, J. Virol., 77(17):9522-9532). The V protein might also have other functions during viral infection, and mutations might also achieve an attenuating effect by interfering with additional functions.
V protein is encoded by a bicistronic polynucleotide encoding both the P and V proteins. The bicistronic polynucleotide encodes a nucleocapsid-associated P phosphoprotein from an overlapping reading frame (Ohgimoto et al., 1990). P protein is a structural protein that plays a major role in transcription and replication of the viral genome. The alternative reading frames are accessed by an unusual cotranscriptional editing of the P/V encoding mRNA, a feature unique to most members of the Paramyxovirinae subfamily. The polynucleotide encoding the P and V protein includes an alternative open reading frame (ORF) that is accessed by a shift in reading frame mediated by cotranscriptional editing to generate the mRNA encoding a P protein. A V protein is generated from an unedited mRNA encoding P and V. Therefore, the P and V genes have a common amino-terminal sequence and unique carboxy-termini. The overlapping nature of the P and V ORFs, however, greatly restricts the number and types of mutations that can be introduced into the V protein without also affecting the P protein, and vice versa.
One aspect of the invention includes polynucleotides, vectors and a viral construct comprising a polynucleotide encoding a variant P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein. Separation of the coding sequence of the V and P protein allows changes to the V protein without affecting the function of the P protein. Insertion of a polynucleotide encoding a V protein into the viral genome provides an attenuating phenotype. Preferably, the polynucleotide encoding the V protein is modified with at least one mutation that decreases the ability of the V protein to inhibit interferon production and/or signaling. The polynucleotide encoding a variant P protein and the monocistronic polynucleotide encoding the V protein can be on the same vector or separate vectors.
Another aspect of the invention involves a novel attenuating mutation of the L polymerase. In some embodiments, residue positions are selected for substitution based on a comparison to other related viruses and an indication that when an amino acid at the position is substituted in other related viruses an attenuating phenotype is observed. The amino acids selected for substitution at those positions are chosen from those amino acids that are encoded by a codon that differs in at least two nucleotide positions from the wild type amino acid found at that position. In some embodiments, at least two nucleotide changes are made in a codon specifying the changed amino acid. In some embodiments, mutations of the L polymerase have a temperature sensitive phenotype.
In yet another aspect, an attenuating mutation may be made in a noncoding region of the genome including the 3′ leader and/or 5′ trailer of the viral genome. In some embodiments, a recombinant and infectious parainfluenza virus comprises an attenuating mutation at a position corresponding to nucleotide position 15 of the 3′ leader of viral genome or antigenome. In some embodiments, a recombinant parainfluenza virus with a mutation at a position corresponding to position 15 has a host range restriction phenotype.
The attenuating mutations and methods of the invention provide recombinant, infectious, self-replicating paramyxoviruses comprising a partial or complete polyhexameric genome or antigenome having a polynucleotide encoding a variant P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein, as well as novel attenuating mutations in the L polymerase and 3′ leader sequence. In some embodiments, an attenuated paramyxovirus has a temperature sensitive and at least one other attenuating mutation that provides a phenotype including host range restriction, reduced plaque size, or change in immunogenicity. The attenuated infectious virus can be utilized in live virus vaccines and/or in immunogenic compositions to protect against HPIV infection and/or to deliver heterologous antigens. The attenuating mutations can be utilized as part of a menu of attenuating mutations to develop attenuated paramyxovirus strains that may be utilized in vaccines.
A. Mutations
1. L polymerase
One aspect of the invention provides a recombinant and infectious variant of HPIV2 having one or more attenuating mutations in the L polymerase (L protein). In some embodiments, residue positions are selected for substitution based on a comparison to other related viruses and an indication that when an amino acid at a position is substituted in other related viruses an attenuating phenotype is observed. The amino acids selected for substitution at those positions are chosen from those amino acids that are encoded by a codon that differs in at least two nucleotide positions from the wild type amino acid found at that position. In some embodiments, at least two nucleotide changes are made in a codon specifying the changed amino acid.
In some embodiments, an attenuating mutation comprises a substitution at one or more amino acid residues corresponding to positions 460, 948, or 1724 of SEQ ID NO:17. Preferred amino acid substitutions include F460A, F460P, Y948A, Y948L, Y948G, S1724I, or mixtures thereof.
The attenuating mutations are preferably stable. Amino acid substitutions that require two or three nucleotide substitutions are preferred. For example, F460A requires three nucleotide substitution mutations (wild type TTT, variant GCA). The nucleotide substitutions encoding the preferred amino acid substitutions described above are shown in Table 2.
The attenuating mutation(s) can be temperature sensitive. In an embodiment, the L protein mutations are not attenuating for replication at permissive temperature, such as for example 30-32° C., but are attenuating for replication at restrictive temperatures, such as for example 37° C.-40° C. In an embodiment, replication of the HPIV2 variants is reduced at about 39° C. In some embodiments, the shut-off temperature of the HPIV2 variants is preferably about 39° C., more preferably about 38° C., or about 37° C. Preferably, the paramyxovirus strains with mutations in L polymerase have a lower shutoff temperature than control paramyxovirus. In some embodiments, the control is a wild type virus. In other embodiments, the control is another attenuated paramyxovirus.
Preferably, the HPIV2 variants are attenuated in vivo. In an embodiment, the HPIV2 variants exhibit reduced replication in the upper and/or lower respiratory tract of a mammal as compared to wild-type HPIV2 or other attenuated paramyxoviruses. In an embodiment, the replication is reduced at least about 10 fold, 100 fold, more preferably about 500 fold, more preferably about 1000 fold, more preferably about 1500 fold, more preferably about 2000 fold, more preferably about 3000 fold, more preferably about 4000 fold, more preferably about 5000 fold, more preferably about 6000 fold as compared to wild-type HPIV2 or other attenuated paramyxoviruses. In an embodiment, the mammal is a golden Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). In another embodiment, the mammal is an African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops).
The HPIV2 variants preferably comprise a partial or complete polyhexameric genome or antigenome encoding a major nucleocapsid (N) protein, a nucleocapsid phosphoprotein (P) and a L polymerase (L) protein. HPIV2 variants may further comprise a genome or antigenome encoding a fusion (F) protein and a hemaglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein. HPIV2 variants that further comprise F and HN proteins are useful in immunogenic compositions.
Another aspect of the invention includes an isolated nucleic acid or vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide with at least 80% sequence identity to a L protein having a sequence of SEQ ID NO:17. An isolated polypeptide comprising at least 80% sequence identity to a L polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 17 and preferably, comprising at least one mutation of amino acid residues corresponding to positions 460, 948, or 1724 of SEQ ID NO:17 is also provided.
An attenuating mutation in the L protein can be generated by PCR mutagenesis and standard molecular cloning techniques. Examples of PCR primers useful for generating the attenuating mutations of the invention are described in Example 1 and Table 2.
2. 3′ Leader Sequence
One aspect of the invention provides recombinant and infectious variants of HPIV2 having an attenuating mutation in the 3′ leader of a viral genome. In some embodiments, an attenuating mutation comprises a nucleic acid substitution at a position corresponding to T15 of SEQ ID NO:4. In an embodiment, the nucleotide substitution comprises T15C. In some embodiments, the recombinant and infectious variants predominantly have a C at position 15 and more preferably, have little or no detectable virus with a T at position 15.
In some embodiments, the attenuating mutation may also have a phenotype selected from a change in growth characteristics, attenuation, temperature sensitivity, cold adaption, plaque size, host range restriction or changes in immunogenicity. Preferably, the attenuating mutation has a phenotype of host range restriction. In an embodiment, HPIV2 including a nucleotide substitution at a position corresponding to T15 of SEQ ID NO:5 is attenuated in the respiratory tract of African green monkeys, but not in the respiratory tract of golden Syrian hamsters. In some embodiments, the attenuating mutation does not confer a temperature sensitive phenotype.
An attenuating mutation in the 3′ leader of HPIV2 can be generated by PCR mutagenesis and standard molecular cloning techniques. Examples of PCR primers useful for generating the attenuating mutation of the invention are described in Example 2.
3. Separation of Bicistronic Polynucleotides Encoding P and V Proteins into a Polynucleotide Encoding a P or a V Protein.
One aspect of the invention provides recombinant, infectious, self-replicating paramyxovirus comprising a partial or complete polyhexameric genome or antigenome having a variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein. The polynucleotide encoding a P protein has been altered to no longer encode the V protein. The paramyxovirus of the invention preferably includes a major nucleocapsid protein (N protein), a nucleocapsid phosphoprotein (P protein), and a large polymerase protein (L protein). The N protein, P protein, or L protein can be from a heterologous Rubulavirus, such as HPIV2, HPIV4HPIV2, HPIV4, mumps, SV41 and SV5. Paramyxovirus variants may further comprise a genome or antigenome encoding a fusion (F) protein and a hemaglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein. Paramyxovirus variants that further comprise F and HN proteins are useful in immunogenic compositions. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encoding a variant P protein and the monocistronic polynucleotide encoding the V protein are on separate vectors.
The paramyxovirus can be a parainfluenza virus (PIV). A number of paramyxovirus have a polynucleotide encoding both a P and V protein including HPIV2, murine P1V1 (Sendai virus) HPIV4A, HPIV5, SV41, SV5, mumps virus, and NDV. In an embodiment, the PIV is human PIV (HPIV). Preferably, the HPIV is HPIV type 2 (HPIV2). In an embodiment, the HPIV2 is strain V94, V98, or Greer. In an embodiment, the genome or antigenome sequence is derived from a variant HPIV2 comprising at least 80% or greater nucleotide sequence identity with a HPIV2 reference sequence. In an embodiment, the reference sequence is the genomic sequence of HPIV2 of strain V94 (SEQ ID NO:4), V98 (SEQ ID NO:5), or Greer (SEQ ID NO:6). In an embodiment, the genomic sequence comprises a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:4.
The polynucleotide encoding the monocistronic V protein can be inserted anywhere into the genome, antigenome, or vector. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encoding the monocistronic V protein may be inserted at the 3′ end. In some embodiments, the gene order, for example, may be 3′ V-N-P-M-F-HN-L-5′. In other embodiments, the gene order, for example, may be 3′ N-V-P-M-F-NH-L-5′. In some embodiments, the monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a protein is inserted into a restriction site in the genome. Restriction sites may include Asc I, Bst EII, AgeI or Sac II as shown in FIG. 5. In an embodiment, a recombinant virus encoding a separate P and V protein has an antigenomic cDNA sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
The variant polynucleotide encoding the P protein can be inserted anywhere into the genome or antigenome. In addition, the variant polynucleotide encoding the P protein and the monocistronic polynucleotide encoding the V protein can be located on separate vectors. In some embodiments, the variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein is inserted into a restriction site in the genome or antigenome. Restriction sites may include Asc I, Bst EII, AgeI or Sac II as shown in FIG. 5.
The variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein, optionally, are separated by a non-coding polynucleotide spacer sequence. In an embodiment, the spacer sequence is upstream of a V coding sequence or open reading frame (ORF) in the polynucleotide encoding the V protein. In an embodiment, the spacer sequence comprises a gene end transcription signal, intergenic transcription signal, and/or gene start transcription signal. In an embodiment, the gene start transcription signal is cis-acting. In an embodiment, the gene start transcription signal includes a first adenosine at position 6n+1. In an embodiment, the spacer sequence comprises a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:7.
When a polynucleotide encoding a monocistronic V protein is inserted into the viral genome, the inserted polynucleotide is a heterologous sequence. Viral recombinant virus comprising a polynucleotide encoding a V protein may have an altered phenotype. In some embodiments, the phenotype may be attenuating. In some embodiments, the phenotype is temperature sensitive. Additional nucleotide changes may be introduced into a recombinant virus encoding separate P and V genes to introduce other phenotypic changes selected from a change in growth characteristics, attenuation, temperature sensitivity, cold adaptation, plaque size, host range restriction, or a change in immunogenicity.
An attenuating phenotype can be temperature sensitive. In an embodiment, a recombinant virus encoding separate P and V proteins is not attenuated for replication at permissive temperature (for example, about 30-32° C.) but is attenuated for replication at restrictive temperatures, such as for example 37° C.-40° C. In an embodiment, replication of the paramyxovirus variants is reduced at about 38° C. In some embodiments, the shut-off temperature of the variants is preferably about 38° C., more preferably about 37° C. Preferably, a recombinant virus encoding separate P and V proteins have a lower shutoff temperature than control paramyxovirus. In some embodiments, the control is a wild type virus. In other embodiments, the control is other attenuated paramyxoviruses.
Preferably, a recombinant paramyxovirus encoding separate P and V proteins is attenuated in vivo. In an embodiment, the recombinant virus encoding separate P and V proteins exhibit reduced replication in the upper and/or lower respiratory tract of a mammal as compared to wild-type HPIV2 or other attenuated paramyxoviruses. In an embodiment, the replication is reduced at least about 10 fold, 100 fold, more preferably about 500 fold, more preferably about 1000 fold, more preferably about 1500 fold, more preferably about 2000 fold, more preferably about 3000 fold, more preferably about 4000 fold, more preferably about 5000 fold, more preferably about 6000 fold as compared to wild-type HPIV2 or other attenuated paramyxoviruses. In an embodiment, the mammal is a golden Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). In another embodiment, the mammal is an African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops). In some embodiments, the attenuated paramyxovirus is immunogenic and elicits sufficient antibodies to protect against infection.
The monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein can encode a V protein having a sequence of a naturally occurring or variant V protein. The V protein can be from a heterologous paramyxovirus, including but not limited to HPIV4A, HPIV4B, SV5, SV41, mumps, NDV, or Sendai virus. In an embodiment, the nucleotide sequence encoding the V protein comprises at least 80% sequence identity, more preferably at least 81%, more preferably at least 82%, more preferably at least 83%, more preferably at least 84%, more preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 86%, more preferably at least 87%, more preferably at least 88%, more preferably at least 89%, more preferably at least 90%, more preferably at least 91%, more preferably at least 92%, more preferably at least 93%, more preferably at least 94%, more preferably at least 95%, more preferably at least 96%, more preferably at least 97%, more preferably at least 98%, more preferably at least 99% or greater sequence identity to a nucleotide sequence encoding V protein in a reference sequence. In an embodiment, the reference sequence is HPIV2 strain V94 (SEQ ID NO:4; Table 6), HPIV strain V98 (SEQ ID NO:5 Table 7), HPIV2 strain Greer (SEQ ID NO:6; Table 8) or a polynucleotide encoding a V protein comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:45. In an embodiment, the antigenomic cDNA sequence encoding the V ORF is that of SEQ ID NO:3, shown in FIG. 12. In some embodiments, an isolated monocistronic nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to a V protein having a sequence of SEQ ID NO:45 is provided.
In an embodiment, the nucleotide sequence encoding V protein comprises a mutation that inhibits the ability of V protein to interrupt production or signaling of interferon in an infected host or host cell. Preferably, the mutation does not substantially impact virus replication in cell culture. In an embodiment, the V protein has reduced activity as compared to V protein encoded by HPIV2 strain V94, HPIV2 strain V98, or HPIV2 strain Greer. Preferably the mutation does not affect P protein expression or activity in cell culture.
One of several approaches can be taken to identify mutations in the V protein that render rHPIV2 P+V attenuated for replication in vivo. The first is random mutagenesis of the V ORF to generate viruses that are restricted for replication in the respiratory tract of experimental animals. For example, alanine mutations can be introduced at each position and those positions important in the function of the protein can be identified. In other embodiments, deletions of at least 2 amino acids can be generated. Recombinant viruses bearing these mutations can be characterized in vitro and in vivo.
Alternatively, sequence alignment with heterologous paramyxovirus V proteins can be used as a guide for targeted mutagenesis. For example, there are two ways to use the sequence alignment as a guide. First, conserved sequences, which are likely required for specific V protein activities, can be directly targeted with conservative amino acid substitutions or small (2 amino acid) deletions. A less conservative approach can be taken and unrelated amino acids can be used for amino acid substitutions, or large portions of the conserved regions (6 or more amino acids) can be deleted. Unrelated amino acids may be selected that require at least two nucleotide changes in the codon as compared to the codon encoding the wild type amino acid at that position. The selection of sites for mutagenesis is not limited to conserved sequences.
Substantial modifications in the biological properties of V protein are accomplished by selecting substitutions that differ significantly in their effect on maintaining (a) the structure of the polypeptide backbone in the area of the substitution, for example, as a sheet conformation, helical conformation, or loop structure, (b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the molecule at the target site, or (c) the bulk of the side chain. Naturally occurring residues are divided into groups based on common side-chain properties:
(1) hydrophobic: leucine, met, ala, val, leu, ile;
(2) neutral hydrophilic: cys, ser, thr;
(3) acidic: asp, glu;
(4) basic: asn, gln, his, lys, arg;
(5) residues that influence chain orientation: gly, pro; and
(6) aromatic: trp, tyr, phe.
Non-conservative substitutions entail exchanging a member of one of these classes for another class. Such substituted residues also can be introduced into the conservative substitution sites or, more preferably, into the remaining (non-conserved) sites.
Examples of candidate sites for point or deletion mutagenesis in V protein are summarized and highlighted in FIG. 9A: (I) similarity to a sequence identified in SV5 that is required for RNA binding; (II) similarity to a sequence identified in SV5 that is required for STAT binding; (III) similarity to a sequence identified in SV5 that is required for STAT degradation; (IV) putative leucine (bold font) rich nuclear export signal sequence; (V) highly conserved sequence that may form part of a zinc finger binding domain; (VI) region includes 5 of 7 conserved cysteine residues in the cysteine rich domain (CRD). FIG. 9B shows an amino acid sequence comparison of a highly conserved carboxy-terminal cysteine-rich domain, a critical V protein domain known to bind zinc ions, of 22 members of the Paramyxovirus family. Boxed and bolded sequences are highly conserved. Residues indicated with * may directly interact with one or more zinc ions and are targets for amino acid deletion or substitution mutagenesis. In some embodiments, a variant V protein comprises at least one amino acid mutation of a least one residue corresponding to an amino acid residue in at least one of the domains, more preferably in more than one of the domains.
In an embodiment, the V protein comprises one or more amino acid substitutions or deletions at or between residues corresponding to positions 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 105, 106, 107, 108, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, or any one of amino acids 174-225 of SEQ ID NO:4. Preferably, the nucleotide changes that encode a mutation comprise at least two nucleotide changes compared to the codon encoding the wild type amino acid at that position to increase the stability of the mutation. Preferably, the variant V protein has at least 80% sequence identity to that of a reference sequence.
The monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein includes an mRNA editing site. Preferably the editing site includes a heptaguanosine run. In an embodiment, the editing site comprises a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:8. In an embodiment, the heptaguanosine run is substituted such that editing of nucleotide sequence encoding V protein is inhibited. Nucleotide deletion, insertion, or substitution mutagenesis can be used to inhibit mRNA editing. For example, in V94 HPIV2, mRNA editing of the nucleotide sequence encoding V protein can be inhibited by substituting the nucleotide corresponding to G9 of the editing site (SEQ ID NO:8) with A and the nucleotide corresponding to G12 of the editing site (SEQ ID NO:8) with C. Nucleotide deletions or insertions must conform to the “rule of six”, as described herein and in WO 04027037.
The variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein includes a nucleotide sequence encoding a P protein. The variant polynucleotide encoding the P protein is altered so that it does not encode a V protein. The amino acid sequence of the P protein may also be a variant sequence. The P protein can be from a heterologous paramyxovirus of the Rubulavirus genus, including but not limited to, SV5, SV41, HPIV4A and HPIV4B. In an embodiment, the nucleotide sequence encoding P protein comprises at least 80% sequence identity, more preferably at least 81%, more preferably at least 82%, more preferably at least 83%, more preferably at least 84%, more preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 86%, more preferably at least 87%, more preferably at least 88%, more preferably at least 89%, more preferably at least 90%, more preferably at least 91%, more preferably at least 92%, more preferably at least 93%, more preferably at least 94%, more preferably at least 95%, more preferably at least 96%, more preferably at least 97%, more preferably at least 98%, more preferably at least 99% or greater sequence identity to a nucleotide sequence encoding P protein in a reference sequence. In an embodiment, the reference sequence is HPIV2 strain V94 (SEQ ID NO:4; Table 6), HPIV2 strain V98 (SEQ ID NO:5; Table 7), or HPIV2 strain Greer (SEQ ID NO:6; Table 8). In an embodiment, an antigenomic cDNA sequence encoding a P protein has a sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.
The variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein includes a P coding sequence or open reading frame (ORF). Preferably the P ORF includes one or more nucleotide substitution(s) that introduce one or more stop codons in an overlapping V ORF reading frame but does not alter the amino acid sequence of P protein encoded by the P ORF. In an embodiment, third base codon substitutions encoding stop codons in the V ORF reading frame at codon positions 167, 176, 184, and/or 186 are introduced into the P ORF (SEQ ID NO:2). In another embodiment, the P ORF comprises a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. In some embodiments, insertion of one or more stop codons in a V ORF may be preferably utilized when it may be undesirable to make modifications to the mRNA editing site in the coding sequence for the P ORF.
The variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein includes an mRNA editing site. Preferably the editing site includes a heptaguanosine run. In an embodiment, the editing site comprises a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:8. In an embodiment, the heptaguanosine run is substituted such that editing of the nucleotide sequence encoding P protein is inhibited. Nucleotide deletion, insertion, or substitution mutagenesis can be used to inhibit mRNA editing. Preferably, the insertions and/or substitutions destroy the heptaguanosine stretch in the editing site but do not alter the reading frame encoding the carboxy-terminal portion of P protein. In HPIV2, for example, 2 guanosines are inserted into the mRNA editing site such that the nucleotide sequence encoding the carboxy-terminal portion of P protein is shifted in frame. In an embodiment, the number of guanosines necessary to shift the reading frame to the nucleotide sequence encoding the carboxy terminal portion of P protein are inserted in the mRNA editing site and 2 or more guanosines in the heptaguanosine run are substituted with A or T. See, for example, FIG. 6. In another embodiment, A, T, or a combination thereof corresponding to the number of guanosines necessary to shift the reading frame to the nucleotide sequence encoding the carboxy terminal portion of P protein are inserted into the heptaguanosine run of the mRNA editing site. See, for example, FIG. 6. Nucleotide deletions or insertions must conform to the “rule of six”, as described herein and in WO 04027037, and maintain the correct P ORF reading frame.
A paramyxovirus or polynucleotide of the invention including a variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein can be made using known recombinant methods such as oligonucleotide-mediated (site-directed) mutagenesis, alanine scanning, PCR mutagenesis, site-directed mutagenesis (Zoller et al., 1987, Nucl. Acids Res., 10: 6487-6500), cassette mutagenesis (Wells et al., 1985, Gene, 34:315), restriction selection mutagenesis (Wells et al., 1986, Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London SerA, 317:415), and the like.
B. Combinations of Mutations
A paramyxovirus of the invention, including a partial or complete polyhexameric genome or antigenome having a variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein, can include any of the attenuating mutations in the L polymerase and/or 3′ leader described herein or other known attenuating mutations. Recombinant viral variants having more than one mutation are likely to have increased stability over those variants having a single mutation or a small number of mutations (e.g., less than 3 mutations). The paramyxovirus of the invention can also include any of the attenuating L polymerase mutations described in WO 04/027037. Preferably, the attenuating effect of the mutations in the L polymerase and/or 3′ leader are additive and serve to further increase the attenuation of the paramyxovirus of the invention including a variant polynucleotide encoding a protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein. In some embodiments, it is desirable to balance the level of attenuation with the immunogenicity. In preferred embodiments, the variant paramyoviruses have about 100 fold to 5000 fold decrease in viral titer in a mammal. In some embodiments, a decrease of viral replication greater than about 100,000 fold may result in a loss of immunogenicity or an inability to produce the virus on a large scale.
In some embodiments, the variant paramyxoviruses of the invention have at least one temperature sensitive mutation and at least one non-temperature sensitive mutation. In a preferred embodiment, the recombinant variant paramyxoviruses of the invention have at least one temperature sensitive mutation due to insertion of monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V gene or a mutation in a polynucleotide encoding a L polymerase, wherein the change in the amino acid is due to at least two nucleotide changes to the codon encoding the wild type amino acid. In another embodiment, the recombinant variant paramyxoviruses of the invention comprise a mutation that provides a host range restriction phenotype. In a preferred embodiment, the variant virus having a host range restriction comprises a mutation at position 15 of the 3′ terminus of the viral genome.
C. Vectors including Heterologous Antigens
The paramyxoviruses of the invention are also useful as vectors for expressing heterologous antigens in an immunogenic composition. One or more supernumerary genes encoding one or more heterologous polypeptides can be cloned into and expressed by the paramyxovirus of the invention. For example, an immune response against multiple PIV serotypes or strains can be elicited by engineering protective epitopes of multiple PIV serotypes and strains into a single paramyxovirus. The supernumerary genes can be cloned and expressed in a recombinant virus encoding a separate P and V proteins as described herein, as well as recombinant virus comprising one or more mutations in L polymerase and/or a mutation in the 3′ leader region. Insertion of additional heterologous genes may also result in an attenuated phenotype. Preferably, the paramyxovirus comprising a polynucleotide encoding a heterologous gene is attenuated about 100 to 5000 fold or more in a cell or mammal.
In an embodiment, the genome or antigenome includes one or more heterologous genes or genome segments encoding one or more antigenic determinants of a heterologous pathogen. For example, one or more heterologous antigenic determinant(s) from measles virus, subgroup A and subgroup B respiratory syncytial viruses, mumps virus, human papilloma viruses, type 1 and type 2 human immunodeficiency viruses, herpes simplex viruses, cytomegalovirus, rabies virus, Epstein Barr virus, filoviruses, bunyaviruses, flaviviruses, alphaviruses, human metapneumovituses, or influenza viruses can be expressed by the paramyxovirus of the invention. Examples of useful antigenic determinants include, but are not limited to, measles virus HA and F proteins, subgroup A or subgroup B respiratory syncytial virus F, G, SH and M2 proteins, mumps virus HN and F proteins, human papilloma virus L1 protein, type 1 or type 2 human immunodeficiency virus gp160 protein, herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus gB, gC, gD, gE, gG, gH, gI, gJ, gK, gL, and gM proteins, rabies virus G protein, Epstein Barr Virus gp350 protein, filovirus G protein, bunyavirus G protein, flavivirus pre E, and NS1 proteins, human metapneuomovirus (HMPV) G and F proteins, and alphavirus E protein, and antigenic domains, fragments and epitopes thereof.
In an embodiment, a polynucleotide encoding an open reading frame (ORF) of a measles virus HA gene is incorporated into a HPIV2 vector genome or antigenome to yield a chimeric candidate useful to immunize against measles and/or HPIV2 or another HPIV. In another embodiment, a polynucleotide comprising genes or genome segments encoding one or more heterologous PIV(s) (e.g., HPIV1, HPIV3, and/or HPIV4) HPIV2 N, P, V, F, HN and/or L protein(s) or fragment(s) thereof is incorporated into a HPIV2 vector genome or antigenome. In another embodiment, one or more supernumerary heterologous gene(s) or genome segment(s) selected from HPIV1 HN, HPIV2 F, HP1V3 HN, HPIV3 F, measles HA and F, HMPV G and F proteins, and/or RSV subgroup A or B G and F proteins are cloned into a paramyxovirus of the invention.
Some methods of inserting one or more supernumerary genes or transcriptional units into a paramyxovirus viral genome or antigenome are described in WO04/027037, hereby incorporated by reference. Supernumerary heterologous gene(s) or genome segment(s) can be inserted at various sites within the recombinant genome or antigenome, for example at a position 3′ to N, between the N/P, P/M, and/or HN/L genes, or at another intergenic junction or non-coding region of a HPIV2 vector genome or antigenome. Preferably, the heterologous or supernumery gene or transcriptional unit is inserted at a restriction site, for example, AscI, BstEII, AgeI, or SacII as shown in FIG. 5C. Any insertions or deletions of the viral genome, preferably, conform to the rule of six.

Acids Res., 10: 6487-6500), cassette mutagenesis (Wells et al., 1985, Gene, 34:315), restriction selection mutagenesis (Wells et al., 1986, Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London SerA, 317:415), and the like.

The paramyxovirus genome may be assembled from polymerase chain reaction cassettes sequentially cloned into a vector including a selectable marker for propagation in a host. Such markers include dihydrofolate reductase or neomycin resistance for eukaryotic cell culture and tetracycline or ampicillin resistance genes for culturing in E. coli and other bacteria.
The polynucleotide may be inserted into a replicable vector for cloning using standard recombinant methods. Various vectors are publicly available. The vector may, for example, be in the form of a plasmid, cosmid, viral particle, or phage. The appropriate nucleic acid sequence may be inserted into the vector by a variety of procedures. In general, a nucleic acid is inserted into an appropriate restriction endonuclease site(s) using techniques known in the art. Vector components generally include, but are not limited to, one or more of a signal sequence, an origin of replication, one or more marker genes, an enhancer element, a promoter, and a transcription termination sequence. Construction of suitable vectors including one or more of these components employs standard ligation techniques that are known to the skilled artisan.
Examples of suitable replicable vectors include, without limitation, pUC19 or pTM1. The polynucleotide can be operably linked to an appropriate promoter such as, for example, T7 polymerase promoter, cytomegalovirus promoter, cellular polymerase II promoter, or SP1 promoter. The replicable vectors may further include sites for transcription initiation, transcription termination, and a ribosome binding site for translation.
In an embodiment, a paramyxovirus of the invention including a variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein are cloned by introducing unique restriction enzyme recognition sequences into paramyxovirus cDNA such that the recognition sequences flank the bicistronic polynucleotide encoding the P/V proteins, digesting the genome with one or more restriction enzymes that cut the genome at the restriction sites flanking the bicistronic polynucleotide encoding P/V proteins, inserting the variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and/or monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein at the cleaved restriction sites, and religating the genome. Examples of suitable restriction enzyme recognition sequences, include but are not limited to, Nod, AscI, BstEII, AgeI, and Sac II.

In an embodiment, the variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein is introduced into the genome using the AscI and BstEII restriction sites. In an embodiment, the monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein is introduced into the genome using the AgeI and SacII restrictions sites.
Introduction of a recombinant vector composed of a paramyxovirus genome or polynucleotide encoding a paramyxovirus protein into a host cell, such as for example a bacterial cell or eukaryotic cell, can be affected by calcium phosphate transfection, DEAE-dextran mediated transfection, cationic lipid-mediated transfection, electroporation, electrical nuclear transport, chemical transduction, electrotransduction, infection, or other methods. Such methods are described in standard laboratory manuals such as Sambrook, et al., 1989, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Vols. 1-3, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. or Davis et al., 1986, Basic Methods in Molecular Biology. Commercial transfection reagents, such as Lipofectamine (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) and FuGENE 6TM (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, Ind.), are also available. In some embodiments, transfection efficiency of the host cells is about 15% or greater, about 20% or greater, about 30% or greater, about 40% or greater, or about 50% or greater.

E. Immunogenic Compositions
The invention provides isolated, infectious, recombinant paramyxovirus including one or more attenuating mutations for use in immunogenic compositions, including live attenuated virus vaccines. The paramyxoviruses of the invention are useful in immunogenic compositions for eliciting an immune response in a mammal. Preferably, the attenuated paramyxovirus includes a variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein. In an embodiment, the V gene comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a V protein having a mutation that inhibits the ability of the V protein to interrupt production and/or signaling of interferon in an infected host. In an embodiment, the attenuated virus is HPIV2.
Recombinant HPIV2 of the invention can be combined with viruses of other PIV serotypes or strains and paramyxoviruses from multiple genera in a composition to elicit an immune response against multiple genera, serotypes, and strains. The immunogenic composition can comprise paramyxoviruses from two or more serotypes. In an embodiment, at least one of the serotypes is HPIV1, HPIV2, HPIV3, or HPIV4. The immunogenic composition can comprise paramyxovirus from two or more strains. In an embodiment, at least one of the strains is an HPIV2 strain, such as for example, V94, V98, or Greer. The immunogenic composition can comprise paramyxovirus from two of more genera. In an embodiment, one genus is Rubulavirus genus.
The paramyxoviruses of the invention are also useful as vectors for expressing heterologous antigens in an immunogenic composition. One or more supernumerary genes encoding one or more heterologous polypeptides can be cloned into and expressed by the paramyxovirus of the invention. For example, an immune response against multiple PIV serotypes or strains can be elicited by engineering protective epitopes of multiple PIV serotypes and strains into a single paramyxovirus. In an embodiment, the genome or antigenome includes one or more heterologous genes or genome segments encoding one or more antigenic determinants of a heterologous pathogen.
For example, one or more heterologous antigenic determinant(s) from measles virus, subgroup A and subgroup B respiratory syncytial viruses, mumps virus, human papilloma viruses, type 1 and type 2 human immunodeficiency viruses, herpes simplex viruses, cytomegalovirus, rabies virus, Epstein Barr virus, filoviruses, bunyaviruses, flaviviruses, alphaviruses, human metapneumovituses, or influenza viruses can be expressed by the paramyxovirus of the invention. Examples of useful antigenic determinants include, but are not limited to, measles virus HA and F proteins, subgroup A or subgroup B respiratory syncytial virus F, G, SH and M2 proteins, mumps virus HN and F proteins, human papilloma virus L1 protein, type 1 or type 2 human immunodeficiency virus gp160 protein, herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus gB, gC, gD, gE, gG, gH, gI, gJ, gK, gL, and gM proteins, rabies virus G protein, Epstein Barr Virus gp350 protein, filovirus G protein, bunyavirus G protein, flavivirus pre E, and NS1 proteins, human metapneuomovirus (HMPV) G and F proteins, and alphavirus E protein, and antigenic domains, fragments and epitopes thereof.
In an embodiment, a polynucleotide encoding an open reading frame (ORF) of a measles virus HA gene is incorporated into a HPIV2 vector genome or antigenome to yield a chimeric candidate useful to immunize against measles and/or HPIV2 or another HPIV. In another embodiment, a polynucleotide comprising genes or genome segments encoding one or more heterologous PIV(s) (e.g., HPIV1, HPIV3, and/or HPIV4) HPIV2 N, P, V, F, HN and/or L protein(s) or fragment(s) thereof is incorporated into a HPIV2 vector genome or antigenome. In another embodiment, one or more supernumerary heterologous gene(s) or genome segment(s) selected from HPIV1 HN, HPIV2 F, HP1V3 HN, HPIV3 F, measles HA and F, HMPV G and F proteins, and/or RSV subgroup A or B G and F proteins are cloned into a paramyxovirus of the invention.
Some methods of inserting one or more supernumerary genes or transcriptional units into a paramyxovirus viral genome or antigenome are described in WO04/027037, hereby incorporated by reference. Supernumerary heterologous gene(s) or genome segment(s) can be inserted at various sites within the recombinant genome or antigenome, for example at a position 3′ to N, between the N/P, P/M, and/or HN/L genes, or at another intergenic junction or non-coding region of a HPIV2 vector genome or antigenome.
Candidate viruses for use in an immunogenic composition, such as for example a vaccine, are selected based on their attenuation and immunogenicity. These vaccine selection criteria are determined according to well-known methods. Preferably, candidate viruses have a stable attenuation phenotype, exhibit replication in an immunized host, and effectively elicit production of an immune response in a recipient, preferably a protective immune response. Preferably, the candidate viruses stimulate and expand the immune response, e.g., induce an immune response against different viral strains or subgroups and/or stimulate an immune response mediated by a different immunologic basis (e.g., secretory versus serum immunoglobulins, cellular immunity, and the like).
Recombinant paramyxoviruses of the invention can be tested in well-known and in vitro and in vivo models to confirm adequate attenuation, resistance to phenotypic reversion, and immunogenicity. In in vitro assays, the modified virus paramyxovirus of the invention is tested for one or more desired phenotypes, such as, for example, temperature sensitive replication. Paramyxovirus of the invention can also be tested in animal models of PIV infection. A variety of animal models are known. For example, PIV model systems, including rodents and non-human primates, for evaluating attenuation and immunogenic activity of PIV vaccine candidates, are known, and the data obtained therefrom are known to correlate with PIV infection, attenuation, and immunogenicity in humans.
In some embodiments, recombinant variant paramyxoviruses have at least one attenuating mutation with a is phenotype and at least one mutation with a non-ts phenotype. The recombinant attenuated paramyxoviruses are preferably attenuated about 100 to 5000 fold in a cell or mammal compared to wild type paramyxovirus. In some embodiments, attenuation of greater than 100,000 fold may result in reduced immunogenicity. In some embodiments, it is preferred that the level of viral replication in vitro is sufficient to provide for production of viral vaccine for use on a wide spread scale. In some embodiments, it is preferred that the level of viral replication of attenuated paramyxovirus in vitro is at least 106, more preferably at least 107, and most preferably at least 108 per ml. The attenuating mutation is preferably one that is stable. For example, for mutations in L polymerase, it is preferable that a change in amino acid at a position requires at least two nucleotide changes in the codon as compared to the codon encoding the wild type amino acid at that position. A recombinant paramyxovirus with at least two, three, four or ever more attenuating mutations is likely to be more stable. Insertion of a supernumerary gene whose total length conforms to the rule of six, such as a polynucleotide encoding a separate V gene, can also provide a stable phenotype.
Immunogenicity of a recombinant attenuated paramyxovirus can be assessed in an animal model by determining the number of animals that form antibodies to the paramyxovirus after one immunization and after a second immunization. In some embodiments, a recombinant paramyxovirus has sufficient immunogenicity if about 60 to 80% of the animals develop antibodies after the first immunization and about 80 to 100% of the animals develop antibodies after the second immunization. The preferred animal for a determination of immunogenicity is African green monkey. Preferably, the immune response protects against infection with a paramyxovirus of the same strain or multiple strains.
The invention also provides for immunogenic compositions comprising isolated polynucleotides or polypeptides of the invention. For example, an immunogenic composition can include a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that has at least 80% sequence identity to a V polypeptide having a sequence of SEQ ID NO:45 or a polypeptide having a sequence at least 80% sequence identity to a V polypeptide having an sequence of SEQ ID NO:45. In other embodiments, an immunogenic composition can include a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that has at least 80% sequence identity to a L polypeptide having a sequence of SEQ ID NO:17 or a polypeptide having a sequence at least 80% sequence identity to a L polypeptide having an sequence of SEQ ID NO:17. In other embodiments, an immunogenic compositions can include a nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:2.
Recombinant paramyxoviruses of the invention are preferably present in the immunogenic composition in an immunogenic effective amount. An immunogenic effective amount is an amount of recombinant paramyxovirus that induces an immune response in an animal. The actual amount of the recombinant paramyxovirus may vary depending on the animal to be immunized, the route of administration and adjuvants. The actual amount of recombinant paramyxovirus necessary to elicit an immune response, and the timing and repetition of administration, can be determined using conventional methods based on the state of health and weight of the host, mode of administration, nature of formulation, etc. Immunogenic dosages can be determined by those of skill in the art. Dosages will generally range from about 103 to about 107 plaque forming units (PFU) or more of virus per host, more commonly from about 104 to 106 PFU virus per host. In any event, the formulations should provide a quantity of attenuated recombinant paramyxovirus of the invention sufficient to effectively stimulate or induce an anti-PIV or other anti-pathogenic immune response.
The immune response may be indicated by T and/or B cell responses. Typically, the immune response is detected by the presence of antibodies that specifically bind to a particular antigen. Methods of detecting antibodies to a particular antigen are known to those of skill in the art and include such assays as ELISA assays, western blot assays, hemagglutination-inhibition assays, and infectivity neutralization assays. Host receiving immunogenic compositions of the invention are preferably monitored for signs and symptoms of upper and lower respiratory tract illness. Preferably, attenuated virus administered intranasally grows in the nasopharynx of recipients at levels about 10-fold or more lower than wild-type virus, or about 10-fold or more lower when compared to levels of incompletely attenuated virus.
In neonates and infants, multiple administrations may be required to elicit sufficient levels of immunity. Administration could begin within the first month of life, and at intervals throughout the first several years of childhood, such as at two months, six months, one year and two years, as necessary to maintain an immune response against native (wild-type) PIV infection. Similarly, adults who are particularly susceptible to repeated or serious PIV infection, such as, for example, health care workers, day care workers, family members of young children, the elderly, individuals with compromised cardiopulmonary function, may require multiple immunizations to establish and/or maintain immune responses. Levels of induced immunity can be monitored by measuring amounts of neutralizing secretory and serum antibodies, and dosages adjusted or immunizations repeated as necessary to maintain desired levels of immune response.
Recombinant paramyxoviruses, polynucleotides, and polypeptides of the invention can be used directly in formulations, or lyophilized, as desired, using well known methods. Lyophilized virus is typically maintained at about 4° C. When ready for use, the lyophilized virus is reconstituted in an appropriate stabilizing solution. Many stabilizing solutions are known.
Immunogenic compositions including paramyxovirus of the invention can include a physiologically acceptable carrier and/or adjuvant. Examples of physiologically acceptable carriers include buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid; low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptide; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, arginine or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugar alcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol; salt-forming counterions such as sodium; and/or nonionic surfactants such as TWEENTM, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and PLURONICSTM. Lyophilized preparations are generally combined with a sterile solution prior to administration.
The compositions may include pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances as required to approximate physiological conditions, such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, tonicity adjusting agents, wetting agents and the like, such as for example, sodium acetate, sodium lactate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, and the like. Acceptable adjuvants include, but are not limited to, Freund's adjuvant (incomplete or complete), MPLTM (3-O-deacylated monophosphoryl lipid A; Corixa, Hamilton IN) and IL-12 (Genetics Institute, Cambridge Mass.), CpG oligonucleotides, immunostimulating compositions and alum salts.
The immunogenic compositions of the invention can be administered nasally in droplet, aerosol, or nebulizer form, orally, or parentally, including subcutaneous injection, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal or infusion techniques, in dosage unit formulations including conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants or vehicles. Compositions of the invention can be in the form of suspensions or tablets suitable for oral administration or sterile injectable preparations, such as sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspensions.
For administration as injectable solutions or suspensions, the immunogenic compositions of the invention can be formulated according to techniques well-known in the art, using suitable dispersing or wetting and suspending agents, such as sterile oils, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides, and fatty acids, including oleic acid.
Immunization by the nasal route may be more effective compared with intramuscular or subcutaneous injection because the production of local secretory IgA in the upper respiratory tract can protect against PIV infection. For example, PIV specific secretory IgA can show a broader cross-reactivity for variant strains of PIV and thus may offer a greater degree of protection against mutant PIV. In contrast, injectable vaccines are inefficient at inducing mucosal IgA. In particular, nasal administration of the immunogenic compositions of the invention may be more effective in the elderly since, unlike the systemic immune system, mucosal immune responses do not deteriorate with age. Immunogenic compositions of the invention that also stimulate systemic immune responses may protect the lower respiratory tract (lungs) due to transudation of antibodies from the serum. In addition, PIV-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL) in nasal associated lymphoid tissue can contribute to recovery from infection.
Immunogenic compositions for nasal administration are preferably formulated so that they are similar to nasal secretions in regard to toxicity, pH, and viscosity so that normal ciliary action is maintained. In an embodiment, the immunogenic compositions of the invention are formulated in an aqueous solution that is isotonic and slightly buffered to maintain a pH of about 5.5 to about 6.5. Antimicrobial preservatives and appropriate stabilizers, if required, are included in the formulation.
F. Methods of Use
The invention also provides methods of making and using the recombinant paramyxovirus of the invention. In one embodiment, the invention relates to methods of generating an infectious, self-replicating paramyxovirus as have been described herein. The methods generally include the steps of removing or altering a bicistronic polynucleotide encoding a P and V protein from the viral genome or antigenome of a paramyxovirus and inserting a variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and/or a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein. In an alternative embodiment, the variant polynucleotide encoding the P gene in the paramyxovirus can be altered in situ to no longer encode the V protein using the standard methods and the monocistronic polynucleotide encoding the V protein can be inserted into the paramyxovirus genome or antigenome. Preferably, the variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein includes a mutated mRNA editing site such that editing of mRNA encoding P protein is inhibited and the monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein includes a mutated mRNA editing site such that editing of mRNA encoding V protein is inhibited. More preferably, the V protein has at least one mutation that reduces the ability of the V protein to inhibit production and/or signaling of interferon.
In an embodiment, the removing step includes introducing unique restriction enzyme recognition sequences into the genome or antigenome such that the recognition sequences flank the bicistronic polynucleotide encoding P and V proteins and digesting the genome or antigenome with one or more restriction enzymes that cut the genome or antigenome at the restriction sites flanking the bicistronic polynucleotide. In an embodiment, the inserting step includes inserting the variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein at the cleaved restriction sites and religating the genome or antigenome.
In another embodiment, the invention relates to methods of producing infectious, self-replicating, recombinant paramyxovirus. The methods of the invention include transfecting a population of cells with an expression vector comprising a partial or complete polyhexameric genome or antigenome sequence and one or more supporting vectors including one or more polynucleotides encoding N protein, P protein, and L polymerase, and incubating the transfected cells under conditions to allow for viral replication. Preferably, the paramyxoviruses have a variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and/or a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein.
In another embodiment, the invention relates to methods of eliciting an immune response in a mammal. The methods of the invention include administering an immunogenic composition of the invention. Preferably, the immune response produces antibodies that are protective (e.g. inhibit infection or reduce the severity of infection). In an embodiment, the antibodies are anti-PIV antibodies. In an embodiment, the anti-PIV antibodies are IgA. In some embodiments, the immune response produces antibodies that bind one or more antigenic determinants of a heterologous pathogen encoded by supernumerary genes or genome segments. Examples of heterologous pathogens include, but are not limited to, HPIV1, HPIV3, measles virus, subgroup A or subgroup B respiratory syncytial virus, mumps virus, human papilloma virus, type 1 or type 2 human immunodeficiency virus, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, rabies virus, Epstein Barr virus, filovirus, bunyavirus, flavivirus, alphavirus, human metapneumovirus, or influenza virus. In an embodiment, the antigenic determinants include measles virus HA, HPIV1 HN, and/or HPIV3 HN.
In another embodiment, the invention relates to methods of inhibiting a paramyxovirus infection including, but not limited to, PIV infection. The methods of the invention include administering an immunogenic composition of the invention comprising an attenuated paramyxovirus of the invention. Preferably the paramyxovirus of the invention includes a variant polynucleotide encoding a P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein. In an embodiment, the paramyxovirus is PIV. In an embodiment, the PIV is HPIV2. Preferably the immunogenic composition elicits antibodies that are protective (e.g. inhibit infection or reduce the severity of infection). In an embodiment, the antibodies are anti-PIV antibodies. In an embodiment, the anti-PIV antibodies are IgA.

EXAMPLE 1
Level of Attenuation and Stability Conferred by L Protein Mutations Enhanced by Alternative Codon Substitution
Attenuated HPIV1 and HPIV2 vaccine candidates were previously generated by amino acid substitutions at loci in the L protein (WO04/027037; (McAuliffe et al., 2004)). In this example, the level of attenuation conferred by alternative codon substitutions at mutant loci in the L protein was studied. Codon substitution mutations were designed so that at least two nucleotide changes would be required to regenerate a codon specifying the wild type amino acid at each position, thereby reducing the chance of spontaneous reversion to a codon specifying the wild type amino acid. For example, taking the commonly cited value of 10−4 for the mutation rate for a RNA virus, reversion that requires a single nucleotide substitution would occur at a frequency of  ̃10−4 whereas reversion requiring two or three substitutions would occur at the greatly reduced frequencies of  ̃10−8 and  ̃10−12, respectively.
Material and Methods
Preparation of Plasmids and Generation of Mutants
HPIV2 V94 strain antigenomic sense cDNA (SEQ ID NO:4), which is 15,654 nucleotides in length and conforms to the “rule of six” (Calain and Roux, 1993; Kolakofsky et al., 1998; Vulliemoz and Roux, 2001), was modified by PCR mutagenesis and standard molecular cloning techniques to include a NotI site (GCGGCCGC (SEQ ID NO:11)) at nucleotide sequence positions 149 to 156 in the HPIV2 genome, which is within the N gene and upstream of the N ORF. The NotI restriction site was introduced to aid in subsequent cloning steps and as a site for the subsequent insertion of supernumerary genes. Unless otherwise noted, each of the recombinant mutant HPIV2s described includes this NotI site.
The original biologically derived wild-type clinical HPIV2 isolate is designated V94 (SEQ ID NO:4); its recombinant wild-type counterpart lacking the NotI site is designated rV94 (SEQ ID NO:12), and the version including the NotI site is designated rV94Not (SEQ ID NO:13). Wild-type and recombinant HPIV2 were assembled and recovered as described in WO04/027037 and Skiadopoulos et al., 2003, J. Virol., 77:270-279.
Four L protein mutations conferring is attenuation (att) phenotypes were previously identified in several heterologous paramyxoviruses (WO04/027037). These mutations were imported into HPIV2 as follows: F460L, imported from the RSVcpts530 L protein, F521L (Juhasz et al., 1999; Whitehead et al., 1999; Skiadopoulos et al., 1999c; Juhasz, Murphy, and Collins, 1999)); Y948H and L1566I, imported from the HPIV3 cp45 L protein, Y942H and L1558I, respectively (Skiadopoulos et al., 1998; Skiadopoulos et al., 1999a)); and S1724I, imported from the bovine PIV3 (BPIV3) L protein, T1711I (Skiadopoulos et al., 2003a).
In the present example, the L protein mutations were designed to involve more than one nucleotide change including two mutations at the codons specifying amino acid position 460 (F460A and F460P) and three at amino acid position 948 (Y948A, Y948G, and Y948L). A codon substitution at position 1724 (S1724I) specifying the mutation originally identified in the BPIV3 L ORF (T1711I) was also generated, although this mutant codon differed from wild type by only a single nucleotide substitution. The codons at positions 1724 and 1725 were both deleted in order to maintain a polyhexameric genome length, i.e. to conform the genome length to the rule of six. Thus, six mutations, including novel mutations at codon positions encoding amino acids at positions 460, 948, 1566, 1724, and 1725, were generated by PCR mutagenesis (Moeller et al., 2001) and standard molecular cloning techniques (Skiadopoulos et al., 2003, J. Virol., 77:270-279; Newman et al., 2004) using mutagenic PCR primers designed to achieve the nucleotide sequence indicated in Table 2.
Table 2 summarizes the substitution mutations introduced into the L ORF of HPIV2. Mutants bearing a mutation in the L protein were designated by the amino acid substitution generated (e.g., rF460A, recombinant V94 with the F-460 to A mutation).

Additional codon substitution mutations not shown in Table 2 were introduced into the HPIV2 full-length antigenomic cDNA, but rHPIV2 could not be recovered from these constructs after 1 or 2 attempts, suggesting that these mutations may specify a lethal phenotype. These mutations included Ala-998 to Phe or Cys, Leu-1566 to Ala, Gly, Lys, and Asn, and Tyr-948 to Thr.
rV94Not comprising the indicated L gene mutations (Table 2) was recovered from cDNA using a reverse genetics system that employed a full length HPIV2/rV94Not plasmid and three HPIV2 support plasmids as described in WO04/027037 and below.
A support plasmid encoding the N protein of HPIV2/V94 (pTM-N2) was derived from vRNA using the Thermoscript RT-PCR System (Invitrogen, Inc.) and the Advantage-HF PCR kit (Clontech) using an antigenomic sense oligonucleotide that included an AfI III site spanning the N ORF ATG translation initiation codon site and an anti-sense oligo including an EcoRI site. The PCR product was digested with AfI III and EcoRI and cloned into pTM1 (Durbin et al., Virology 235: 323-332, 1997; Durbin et al., Virology 234: 74-83, 1997; Elroy-Stein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 86: 6126-30, 1989), that was digested with Nco I and EcoRI.
A support plasmid encoding the P protein of HPIV2/V94 (pTM-P2) was generated from two overlapping PCR fragments (Moeller et al., J. Virol. 75: 7612-20, 2001, incorporated herein by reference) and engineered to include a two guanosine nucleotide insertion within the HPIV2 P gene editing site (nt 2481-2487) to generate the complete P ORF (as distinguished thereby from the V ORF) which was subcloned into pTM1 as an Nco Ito EcoRI fragment.
A support plasmid encoding the L polymerase of HPIV2 (pTM-L2) was made by PCR amplification with a sense oligo including an Nco I site spanning the L gene ATG translation initiation codon, and an antisense oligo downstream of a unique Aat II site (nt 10342) in the L ORF. The remainder of the L ORF was derived from a subclone used to construct the HPIV2 full-length clone. The PCR product was digested with Asp718 and Aat II and was cloned into a pUC19 plasmid including the HPIV2 nts 10342 to 15654 followed by the unique extragenomic Rsr II site. The complete HPIV2/V94 L ORF was then subcloned into a modified pTM1 as an Nco I to Rsr II fragment.
HEp-2 cells (ATCC CCL 23) in 6-well plates (Costar, Coming Inc., Coming, N.Y.) were co-transfected with a cDNA plasmid encoding the mutant HPIV2 of the invention and the three HPIV2 support plasmids (pTM-N2, pTM-P2, pTM-L2), using Lipofectamine-2000 reagent (Invitrogen, Inc.). The HEp-2 cells were simultaneously infected with MVA-T7 as described previously (Durbin et al., Virology 235: 323-332, 1997; Schmidt et al., J. Virol. 74: 8922-9, 2000). Supernatant was harvested on day three or four post-transfection and was passaged two times on LLC-MK2 (ATCC CCL 7.1) monolayers.
To confirm that viruses were derived from cDNA, rather than representing contamination by biologically derived virus, RT was performed and segments of the viral genome were amplified by PCR. Sequence analysis of the PCR products revealed the presence of the two point mutations that are present in the F and L genes of the recombinant virus, designated rHPIV2/V94, but that are not present in the wild type parental virus. Each rHPIV2/V94 was then cloned by plaque to plaque purification on LLC-MK2 monolayers and passaged 6 to 8 times on LLC-MK2 cells using standard techniques (Skiadopoulos et al., 1999, Virology, 260:125-35).
The HEp-2 and LLC-MK2 cells were maintained in OptiMEM I (LifeTechnologies, Gaithersburg, Md.) supplemented with 5% FBS and gentamicin sulfate (50 ug/mL). Recombinant and biologically derived HPIV2s were propagated in LLC-MK2 cells and were quantified by limiting dilution with virus-infected cultures identified by hemadsorption with guinea pig erythrocytes using standard techniques (Hall et al., 1992, Virus Res., 22:173-184).
Replication of Recombinant and Mutant rHPIV2 In Vitro
Replication of recombinant wild type and mutant rHPIV2 at permissive (32° C.) and restrictive (37-40° C.) temperatures was tested in vitro. Recombinant or biologically derived HPIV2 was inoculated in triplicate onto LLC-MK2 cell monolayers in six-well plates at a multiplicity of infection of 0.01, and cultures were incubated at 32° C. with and without 5 μg of porcine trypsin/ml added to the culture medium (Skiadopoulos et al., 1999, Vaccine, 18:503-510). Medium (0.5 ml) from each well was harvested and replaced with 0.5 ml of fresh medium at 0 h and at 1 to 6 days postinfection. Virus present in the samples was quantified by titration on LLC-MK2 monolayers in 96-well plates that were incubated for 6 days at permissive (32° C.) or restrictive (37-40° C.) temperatures (Skiadopoulos et al., 1999, Vaccine, 18:503-510). Virus grown in the presence of trypsin was titered with trypsin in the medium. Virus was detected by hemadsorption with guinea pig erythrocytes (Skiadopoulos et al., 1999, Vaccine, 18:503-510).
Replication of HPIV2 In Vitro (Multi-Cycle Growth Curves)
Recombinant or biologically derived HPIV2 was inoculated in triplicate onto LLC-MK2 cell monolayers in 6-well plates at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 0.01, and cultures were incubated at 32° C. 0.5 ml of medium from each well was harvested and replaced with 0.5 ml of fresh medium at 0 hr and at 1 to 7 days post-infection. Virus present in the samples was quantified by titration on LLC-MK2 monolayers in 96-well plates that were incubated for 6-7 days at 32° C. Virus was detected by hemadsorption and the titer is reported as log10TCID50/ml (50% tissue culture infectious dose/ml).
Replication of Recombinant HPIV2 L Protein Mutants In vivo
Golden Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) have been demonstrated to be an appropriate small animal model for evaluating the level of replication of human parainfluenza viruses. Therefore, the level of replication of wild type and recombinant mutant HPIV2 in the upper and lower respiratory tract of hamsters was examined, as described previously (Skiadopoulos et al., 2003b). Briefly, four week-old Golden Syrian hamsters (Charles River Laboratories, NY) in groups of 6 were inoculated intranasally (IN) with 0.1 ml of L15 medium including 106.0 TCID50 of HPIV2. On day 4 post-infection, the lungs and nasal turbinates were harvested, and the virus was quantified by serial dilution of tissue homogenates on LLC-MK2 monolayers, as previously described (Newman et al., 2002). The mean virus titer was calculated for each group of hamsters and is expressed as log10 TCID50 per gram of tissue.
African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) have been previously demonstrated to be an appropriate non-human primate animal model for HPIV2 replication (Durbin, Elkins, and Murphy, 2000). Monkeys that lacked serum antibodies to HPIV2 (hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titer of ≦1 log2) were inoculated simultaneously by the IN and intratracheal (IT) routes using a one ml inoculum per site including 106 TCID50 of virus in L15 medium, as described previously (Durbin, Elkins, and Murphy, 2000). Nasopharyngeal (NP) swab samples were collected on days 1-10, and tracheal lavage (TL) samples were collected on days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 post-infection. Virus present in NP and TL specimens was quantified by titration on LLC-MK2 cell monolayers, and the mean peak virus titer obtained was expressed as log10 TCID50/ml. The monkeys were challenged IN and IT with one ml per site including 106 TCID50 of the biologically-derived V94 HPIV2 strain 28 or 31 days after the first infection, and NP and TL samples were collected on days 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 post-challenge. HPIV2 present in the samples was quantified as described above. Serum samples were collected to determine the serum antibody titer before immunization (on day 0), post-immunization (on day 28 or 31), and 28 days post-challenge (day 56 or 59 post first infection).
Results and Discussion
The L protein mutants shown in Table 2 were found to grow to high titer at 32° C. on LLC-MK2 cell monolayers (≧106.8 log10 TCID50/ml), indicating the mutations in the L protein are not attenuating for replication at permissive temperature (32° C.) in vitro (Table 3). The shut-off temperature of a rHPIV2 mutant is defined as the lowest temperature at which the reduction in virus titer compared to its titer at 32° C. was 100-fold greater than the difference of HPIV2/V94 between the same two temperatures.
Mutant recombinants rF460A, rF460P, rY948A, rY948G, rY948L, rS1724I, and rdel1724 were designated as having a ts phenotype (Table 3).

cnd = Not determined.






As shown in FIG. 1 and Table 4, recombinant HPIV2 (rF460A, rF460P, rY948A, rY948G and rY948L) comprising an alternative codon substitution were more attenuated than the rV94Not parent virus. rF460A and rF460P were more attenuated in both the upper and lower respiratory tract than F460L which bears the original imported mutation. Similarly, rY948A, rY948G, and rY948L were more attenuated in both the upper and lower respiratory tract than rY948H, which bears the original imported mutation. Thus, the codon substitution mutants exhibited increased attenuation, a desirable property for a vaccine virus.
Both the newly derived rS1724I and the previously derived rdel1724 (WO04/027037) recombinants were more attenuated in the upper and lower respiratory tract of hamsters than the rV94Not parent virus. These results indicated that amino acid 1724 in the HPIV2 L protein is a susceptible site for yielding an attenuation phenotype. Importantly, the rdel1724, which is highly attenuated in hamsters, includes a two amino acid deletion and thus would require the insertion of six specific nucleotides to revert to wild type, whereas rS1724I includes a single nucleotide substitution and would be much more susceptible to reversion. Therefore, the deletion mutation is a preferred mutation for inclusion in a HPIV2 vaccine, because it specifies an att phenotype that should be stable in vivo.

aHamsters in groups of 6 were inoculated IN with 106 TCID50 of the indicated virus. Nasal turbinates and lung tissues were harvested on day 4. Virus present in the tissues was quantified by serial dilution on LLC-MK2 monolayers at 32° C.


bTotal number of animals from three independent experiments.


cData shown were compiled from multiple experiments. The mean virus titer per gram of tissue for each group of animals receiving the same inoculum is shown. S.E., standard error. A statistical analysis of the level of reduction of replication of mutant virus versus wild-type viruses is presented in FIG. 1.






The Y948L mutation attenuated HPIV2 replication to the greatest extent in the respiratory tract of hamsters (4000 and 6000-fold reduction of replication in the upper and lower respiratory tract, respectively, compared to rV94Not). We therefore examined the ability of the Y948L mutant to replicate in the respiratory tract of non-human primates.
As shown in FIG. 2 and Table 5, the novel HPIV2 L protein Y948L mutation conferred an additional 160-fold reduction in the mean peak level of virus replication in the lower respiratory tract of African green monkeys compared to its rV94Not parent, as well as a significant reduction in the mean sum of daily virus shed in the lower respiratory tract. Furthermore, infection with rY948L protected animals from challenge with the biologically derived V94 (Table 5). These results indicate the rY948L mutant is appropriately attenuated and efficacious in non-human primates. In addition, the Y948L codon substitution would require 3 nucleotide changes to revert to the wild type Tyr codon thereby rendering this mutation genetically more stable. Thus, the use of alternative codon substitutions at positions known to confer an attenuation phenotype in a heterologous virus is an effective means of enhancing the level of HPIV2 attenuation for non-human primates.
The HPIV2 mutant bearing a deletion of amino acids 1724-1725 was also highly attenuated and efficacious in African green monkeys (FIG. 2 and Table 5). rV94 del1724 has a greater level of stability than rV94 Y948L, since rV94 del1724 requires insertion of 6 nucleotides to revert to the wild type.

Analysis of the replicative properties of these mutants in vivo and in animal models demonstrated that the F460L and L1566I mutations each conferred approximately a 250 fold reduction of replication in the lower respiratory track of hamsters, and the 1724-1725 deletion mutation conferred a 4 to 25 fold reduction in replication in the respiratory tract of African Green monkeys. Interestingly, while the Y942H mutation conferred ts and att phenotypes in HPIV3 and HPIV1, the analogous mutant did not attenuate HPIV2. This shows that the importation strategy frequently, but not always, results in an att phenotype in a recipient virus.
EXAMPLE 2
Identification of a Putative Non-ts, Host-Range att Mutation in the 3′ Leader Sequence of HPIV2/V94
In African green monkeys, we noted a significant and unexpected difference between the level of replication of the rV94 bearing the pre-N ORF NotI restriction site (rV94Not) versus the biologically derived V94 in the lower respiratory tract (Table 5 and FIG. 2). With the exception of the introduced pre-N ORF NotI restriction site and a translationally silent nucleotide substitution in the F ORF, the recombinant V94 sequence was identical to that determined for the biologically derived virus (Skiadopoulos et al., 2003b). To establish whether the introduced NotI site was responsible for the attenuation phenotype, we compared the level of replication of biologically derived V94 to that of a recombinant V94 (rV94) that does not includes the pre-N ORF NotI site. We found that rV94 was also significantly attenuated in the lower respiratory tract of African green monkeys (FIG. 2 and Table 5). These results indicated that another factor was responsible for the difference in the observed level of replication of recombinant and biologically derived V94 in the lower respiratory tract of African green monkeys and that the NotI site likely did not specify an att phenotype.
Materials and Methods
Passaging and Sequencing
The uncloned, biologically derived HPIV2 V94 clinical isolate administered to the monkeys in Example 1 was sequentially passaged nine times on Vero cell monolayers and then passaged once on LLC-MK2 cell monolayers to generate a virus preparation (V94(a)).
The virus preparation used to determine HPIV2/V94 consensus sequence, however, was prepared from V94 that was first passaged nine times on Vero cells and then passaged multiple times on LLC-MK2 cells (V94(b)). Therefore, the possibility existed that V94(a) and V94(b) were not genetically identical. We determined the sequence of V94(a) and compared it to the V94(b) consensus sequence (FIG. 3A). Sequence was determined by sequencing overlapping RT-PCR cDNA fragments spanning the entire genome as described previously (WO04/027037; Skiadopoulos et al., 2003, J. Virol., 77:270-279). Sequence electropherograms from uncloned RT-PCR products derived from primary isolates of virus recovered from the lower repsiratory tracts of four African green monkeys infected with V94(a) are shown in FIG. 3b. V94(a) passaged in LLC-MK2 cells is shown as a control. The electorpherograms were generated by ABI Prism Sequencing Analysis software (version 3.0) (Perkin-Elmer, UK) on a Perkin-Elmer ABI 3100 sequencer with a Big Dye sequencing kit (Perkin-Elmer Applied Biosystems, Warrington, UK).
Sequencing of Viral Isolates of Tracheal Lavage of African Green Monkeys
Tracheal lavage samples collected from four African green monkeys that were infected with V94(a) (including a mixed population of T or C at nucleotide position 15) were amplified by a single passage on LLC-MK2 monolayers. As a control, the original V94(a) inoculum was also passaged once on LLC-MK2 cells. Primary isolates were similarly prepared from tracheal lavage samples from animals that were administered rV94 (including exclusively C at position 15). These primary isolates were harvested after incubation at 32° C. for six days and vRNA was prepared and used in 3′ RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) reactions to generate RT-PCR products spanning the 3′ end of the viral genome. The PCR products were sequenced in the vicinity of nucleotide position 15.
Results and Discussion
The sequences of V94 (a) and V94 (b) were found to be completely identical except for a single position in the 3′ leader. While the sequence at nucleotide position 15 of V94(b) is a cytosine (C, antigenomic cDNA sense), the sequence determined for the V94(a) preparation administered to the monkeys was a mixture of cytosine and thymidine (T). This difference in sequence is likely a spontaneous change that arose during passage of V94 in Vero cells and was selected for by multiple passage on LLC-MK2 cells. The sequences of the recombinant versions of V94 (rV94 and rV94Not) had a C at position 15. Because this is the only sequence difference observed between the biologically derived V94 (V94(a)) and the recombinant V94 (V94(b)), we conclude that a C at position 15 has an attenuating effect on replication of the virus in the lower respiratory tract of African green monkeys.
Interestingly, there was no difference between the level of replication of the biologically derived V94 and the rV94 in the respiratory tract of hamsters. Moreover, the growth characteristics of the biologically derived and recombinant viruses in vitro were also identical (Table 3), indicating that this nucleotide substitution specifies a host-range att phenotype, i.e., attenuated in African green monkeys but is a wild type phenotype in hamsters. The results in nonhuman primates are likely predictive of results in humans. Therefore, T15C constitutes another novel attenuating mutation available for producing a live-attenuated HPIV2 vaccine.
In the sequence electropherogram of the V94(a) preparation used to inoculate the monkeys, the relative signal strengths of the C and T nucleotides at position 15 were approximately the same (not shown), suggesting that the preparation included populations of viruses bearing C or T that were nearly equivalent in abundance. Based on this observation, we suggest that the population of T-including virus might account for the higher level of V94 replication observed in the monkeys that received V94 (a). If this was indeed the case, then the virus that replicated in the lungs of these animals should predominately have a T at position 15.
To test this hypothesis, tracheal lavage samples collected from four African green monkeys that were infected with V94(a) (including a mixed population of T or C at nucleotide position 15) were amplified by a single passage on LLC-MK2 monolayers. As shown in FIG. 3B, the original V94(a) inoculum passaged once on LLC-MK2 cells maintained a mixed population (C+T) at the position-15 locus. Significantly, each of the isolates obtained from animals that had been administered the same V94(a) inoculum now had a predominantly homogeneous population (T15) at the same locus. This indicates that the virus population including a T at position 15 is the predominant replicating population in the respiratory tract of the monkeys.
Primary isolates were similarly prepared from tracheal lavage samples from animals that were administered rV94 (including exclusively C at position 15). Sequence analysis of RT-PCR products prepared from vRNA purified from these isolates verified that the input virus sequence at this position (C-15) was unchanged (data not shown), indicating that it is genetically stable following in vivo replication. Thus, a C at position 15 of the V94 genome is associated with attenuation in the lower respiratory tract of African green monkeys, but not in hamsters. Since rV94 is not restricted for replication at 39° C. or 40° C. (Table 3), this change does not confer a ts phenotype.
Because T15C confers a non-ts, host-range att phenotype, it is a useful component to include in a live-attenuated HPIV2 vaccine. FIG. 2 indicated that the attenuation specified by the Y948L mutation is additive with the 3′ leader T15C mutation, indicating that ts and non-ts att mutations are compatible and additive. These mutations provide a method to incrementally adjust the level of attenuation of an HPIV2 vaccine virus.
EXAMPLE 3
Recombinant HPIV2 Including Separate Polynucleotides Encoding P or V Protein
The bicistronic P/V gene of HPIV2 encodes the nucleocapsid-associated P phosphoprotein (395 amino acids) and the accessory V protein (225 amino acids) from two overlapping reading frames (Ohgimoto et al., 1990). Since the V protein is not absolutely required for virus replication (Kato et al., 1997; Fukuhara et al., 2002; He et al., 2002; Sun et al., 2004), it is an attractive target for the introduction of mutations that do not interfere with the replication of a vaccine virus in cell culture but attenuate the virus for replication in a human host. The overlapping nature of the P and V ORFs, however, greatly restricts the number and types of mutations that can be introduced into the V protein without also affecting the P protein (and vice versa). To overcome this obstacle we have undertaken a novel approach and modified the HPIV2 V94 strain antigenomic cDNA such that the P and V proteins are encoded by a separate polynucleotide encoding a P protein and a monocistronic polynucleotide encoding a V protein, respectively. This will allow the introduction of a variety of substitution and deletion mutations in the V protein without compromising the integrity of the P protein.
The alternative reading frames of the P/V gene are accessed by an unusual cotranscriptional editing of the P/V gene mRNA (Ohgimoto et al., 1990), a feature unique to most members of the Paramyxovirinae subfamily of Paramyxoviruses (Kawano et al., 1993; Chanock, Murphy, and Collins, 2001). The HPIV2 P protein is translated from a P/V gene mRNA, which has had two additional guanosine residues, inserted into the heptaguanosine stretch (underlined) (TTTAAGAGGGGGGG, V94 nucleotide 2474-2487; SEQ ID NO:8) of the mRNA editing site. This editing site, which shares common features with the editing sites of other paramyxoviruses, includes the uninterrupted heptaguanosine tract (Jacques and Kolakofsky, 1991; Chanock, Murphy, and Collins, 2001) (FIGS. 4A and B). During mRNA synthesis, the viral polymerase is believed to insert one or more guanosine residues by stuttering at the heptaguanosine tract. In the case of HPIV2, two guanosine residues are inserted. The inserted residues shift the translational reading frame at codon 164 and the translation machinery subsequently accesses an alternative ORF specifying the carboxy-terminal half of the P protein (aa 165-395). The shorter V protein is generated from an unedited P/V gene mRNA. Thus the P and V proteins have a common amino-terminal sequence (aa 1-164) and unique carboxy-termini (FIG. 4C).
Paramyxovirus V proteins have a range of functions from activities affecting virus morphogenesis to counteracting host cell innate immune response (Parisien et al., 2001; Andrejeva et al., 2002a; Parisien, Lau, and Horvath, 2002). Analogous to Rubulavirus V proteins, putative HPIV2 V protein activities include RNA binding (Lin, Paterson, and Lamb, 1997), viral nucleoprotein (N) binding (Precious et al., 1995; Randall and Bermingham, 1996; Watanabe et al., 1996a), subcellular localization activities (Watanabe et al., 1996b; Rodriguez, Cruz, and Horvath, 2004), E2- or E3-like ubiquitin ligase activity (Ulane and Horvath, 2002), induction of ubiquitination, STAT binding and degradation (Andrejeva et al., 2002a; Kozuka et al., 2003), binding to the damage specific DNA binding protein (DDBP) (Lin et al., 1998; Andrejeva et al., 2002b), blocking apoptosis (Sun et al., 2004), and zinc ion binding via a highly conserved cysteine rich carboxy-terminal domain (Liston and Briedis, 1994; Paterson et al., 1995; Huang et al., 2000). The active sites for many of these functions are thought to localize to separate domains of the V protein, while some activities likely overlap.
Since the V protein is not absolutely required for virus replication (Kato et al., 1997; Fukuhara et al., 2002; He et al., 2002; Sun et al., 2004), it is an attractive target for the introduction of mutations that do not interfere with the replication of a vaccine virus in cell culture but attenuate the virus for replication in a human host. Paramyxoviruses that express a V protein with a carboxy-terminal deletion were found to be defective for replication in vivo and sometimes in vitro, including in Vero cells which do not express antiviral interferons α and β (Kato et al., 1997; Delenda et al., 1997; Durbin et al., 1999; Kawano et al., 2001; He et al., 2002; Park et al., 2003). Thus, it is important to determine the protein domains of the HPIV2 V protein that are responsible for the growth promoting function in vitro and for the anti-innate immune response activities in vivo. However, the overlapping nature of the P and V ORFs greatly restricts the number and types of mutations that can be introduced into the V protein without also affecting the P protein (and vice versa).
Materials and Methods
Generation and Recovery of Recombinant HPIV2 Including a Genetic Rearrangement of the P/V Gene.
To facilitate subsequent cloning steps, unique endonuclease restriction recognition sequences [AscI (nt 1986-1993); BstEII (nt 3188-3194); AgeI (nt 3192-3197); SacII (nt 3221-3226)] were introduced into rV94Not cDNA (FIG. 5A). The restriction sites were introduced by nucleotide substitution PCR mutagenesis in the non-coding regions upstream (AscI) or downstream (BstEII, AgeI, and SneII) of the P/V ORFs using mutagenic PCR primers designed to achieve the sequence indicated in FIG. 5B or 5C. The restrictions sites were translationally silent because they occurred outside of the ORFs. Recombinant V94 comprising the introduced restrictions sites (termed rV94N/A/B) was recovered as described in Example 1.
The naturally occurring P/V ORF in rV94N/A/B was replaced by a modified P ORF (SEQ ID NO:2) encoding only the P protein. In the P gene unit, the editing site was modified by the insertion of two nucleotides, which serve to access the appropriate P reading frame specifying the carboxy-terminal half of the P protein, and the translationally-silent substitution of 3 guanosines to prevent editing of the mRNA encoding P protein. Four additional nucleotides (TGAC; SEQ ID NO:14) were inserted in the non-coding region flanking the P ORF (FIG. 5C) so that the genome length of the final construct conformed to the “rule of six” (Calain and Roux, 1993; Kolakofsky et al., 1998; Vulliemoz and Roux, 2001). The editing sites were modified by PCR mutagenesis (Moeller et al., 2001) using mutagenic PCR primers designed to achieve the sequences indicated in FIG. 6. Silent third base codon substitutions in the editing site are bolded and underlined. The two nucleotides (TG) inserted to access the 3′-terminal half of the P ORF are indicated by arrows. Parainfluenza viruses generated from cDNAs that do not conform to the rule of six accumulate spontaneous nucleotide deletion or insertion mutations at positions that cannot be predicted (Skiadopoulos et al., 2003b), and therefore cannot be reliably used for live-vaccine production.
To further ensure that a V protein could not be generated from the polynucleotide encoding P protein, silent third base codon substitution mutations were introduced into the P ORF downstream of the ablated editing site by PCR (Moeller et al., 2001) using mutagenic primers designed to achieve the nucleotide sequence indicated in FIG. 6. These nucleotide substitutions encoded stop codons in the overlapping V reading frame. Thus, in the unlikely event that the translation apparatus shifts translation back into the V reading frame, translation termination codons would be encountered at codon positions 167, 176, 184 and 186 of the V ORF remnant. The modified P ORF was subcloned into rV94N/A/B cDNA between the AscI and BstEII sites, as indicated in FIG. 5C, using standard methods.
A modified V ORF designed to encode only the V protein (SEQ ID NO:3). The P and V genes were separated by a non-coding polynucleotide spacer sequence. The spacer sequence was located upstream of the modified V ORF (FIG. 5C). The spacer sequence included an AgeI site and upstream gene end (GE), intergenic (IG), and gene start (GS) transcription signals that served to terminate P gene transcription and initiate V gene transcription, respectively.
The editing site in the V gene unit was engineered so that the heptaguanosine run in the mRNA editing site was mutated by the substitution of 2 guanosines to either adenosine or cytosine (FIG. 6) using PCR mutagenesis and standard molecular cloning techniques (Moeller et al., 2001; Skiadopolous et al., 2003, J. Virol., 77:270-279). This mutation eliminated RNA editing so that the gene unit encoded only the V protein, and was silent at the level of translation. Four additional nucleotides (TGAC) were inserted in the non-coding region flanking the V ORF (FIG. 5C) so that the genome length of the final construct conformed to the “rule of six” (Calain and Roux, 1993; Kolakofsky et al., 1998; Vulliemoz and Roux, 2001).
It is believed that the phasing of the first adenosine in the transcription gene start sequence, with respect to its position in the polyhexameric genome, may be important for the appropriate production of the viral mRNA of all members of the Paramyxovirinae subfamily (Kolakofsky et al., 1998). Therefore, the cis-acting transcription gene start sequence of the inserted polynucleotide encoding V protein was designed so that the phasing of the first adenosine (antigenomic cDNA sequence) in the signal sequence was in a 6n+1 position (FIG. 5C), similar to that of the naturally occurring P/V gene start cis-acting transcription control regions.
The modified V ORF was subcloned into pFLC V94 using the AgeI and SacII restrictions sites, as indicated in FIG. 5c, using standard methods. The transcription control sequences upstream of the P ORF and downstream of the V ORF were not affected by the cis-acting transcription gene start sequence in the V gene unit and the phasing of the polynucleotide encoding P protein in rV94 P+V remained unaltered.
The final full-length antigenomic cDNA plasmid (pFLC V94 P+V) was sequenced using standard methods. HPIV2 P+V cDNA (SEQ ID NO:1) was 16,350 nucleotides in length and is shown in FIG. 10. The supernumerary polynucleotide encoding V protein increased the number of encoded mRNAs to 7, which is one mRNA more than that of wild type HPIV2.
Recovery and sequencing of a recombinant V94 P+V.
Recombinant HPIV2 expressing the P and V proteins from separated polynucleotide (rV94 P+V) was recovered in HEp-2 cells using the full-length antigenomic HPIV2 plasmid pFLC V94 P+V and the HPIV2 N, P and L support plasmids in the reverse genetics system described in Example 1. Virus recovered from transfected HEp-2 cells was passaged onto Vero cell monolayer culture or onto LLC-MK2 cells. The recovered virus, rV94 P+V, grew to high titer in LLC-MK2 (1.3×108 log10 TOD50/ml) and in Vero cell culture (5×108 log10 TCID50/ml).
The identity of the recovered virus was confirmed by RT-PCR amplification from purified viral RNA (vRNA) of a subgenomic fragment including a polynucleotide encoding P or V protein (FIG. 7A). Oligonucleotide primers approximately 25-30 nucleotides in length, in both sense and antisense orientation, spanning the HPIV2 genome were used as sequencing primers. A PCR product was not obtained from similar RT-PCR reactions that did not have the RT enzyme added to them (data not shown), indicating that the RT-PCR product was generated from an RNA template rather than from contaminating plasmid DNA. The size of the PCR product obtained from rV94 P+V was compared to that of the biologically derived V94 virus and to a PCR product obtained with the pFLC V94 P+V cDNA.
Western Blot of Protein Extracts
To demonstrate that the V protein was produced by rV94 P+V, total cellular protein was purified from Vero cells infected with rV94 P+V or wild type V94. Uninfected Vero cells and Vero cells infected with HPIV3 were used as controls. Forty-eight hours after infection Vero cell monolayers were harvested and washed once with PBS. Cell pellets were disrupted with 2× sample buffer (100 mM Tris-Cl [pH 6.8], 4% sodium dodecylsulfate, 20% glycerol, 0.2% bromophenol blue, 200 mM dithiothreitol) and centrifuged through Qiashredders (Qiagen). Five μl of each sample was electrophoresed through sodium dodecylsulfate −4 to 20% polyacrylamide gels (Invitrogen) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antisera raised against a V protein specific peptide representing amino acids 186 to 201 of HPIV2 V protein (SEQ ID NO:45). Bound antibodies were visualized by incubation with horseradish peroxidase-coupled goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G antibodies and chemilluminescence (Pierce). Western blot analysis of protein extracts from the infected cells confirmed that V protein was produced by rV94 P+V (FIG. 7B).
Replication of rV94 P+V In Vitro at Permissive and Restrictive Temperatures.
The kinetics of replication of rV94 P+V was determined by inoculation of HPIV2 onto LLC-MK2 monolayers on 6-well plates at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 0.01. rV94Not and the ts and att recombinant rdel1724 were used as control viruses and the cultures were incubated at 32° C. 0.5 ml of medium from each well was harvested and replaced with 0.5 ml of fresh OptiMEM medium at 0 hr and at 24 hour intervals for up to 7 days post-infection. Virus present in the daily harvest was quantified by titration on LLC-MK2 monolayers in 96-well plates incubated at 32° C.
Recombinant HPIV2 Expressing RSV F Protein (rV94 RSV-F)
Recombinant HPIV2 expressing RSV F protein were constructed as described in WO04/027037. Briefly, a polynucleotide expressing RSV subtype A fusion (F) protein ORF as a supernumerary HPIV2 gene unit was cloned into V94Not cDNA upstream of the N coding sequence and under the control of the cis-acting HPIV2 transcription signals. Recombinant V94Not vector viruses expressing RSV F protein were recovered using a reverse genetics system that employed a full length HPIV2/rV94Not plasmid and three HPIV2 support plasmids as described in WO04/027037 and Example 1.
Results and Discussion
A modified HPIV2 V94 strain antigenomic cDNA comprising separate polynucleotides encoding P and V proteins was prepared and designated rV94 P+V. The identity of the recombinant V94 P+V virus was confirmed by RT-PCR amplification from purified viral RNA (vRNA) of a subgenomic fragment including the P and V genes (FIG. 7A). As shown in FIG. 7A, the RT-PCR product obtained from rV94 P+V vRNA is approximately 700 bp larger than that obtained from wild type V94 and is the same size as that obtained from the pFLC V94 P+V cDNA.
The genomic sequence of rV94 P+V was determined by sequencing of the RT-PCR products spanning the entire genome generated from purified vRNA, with the exception of nucleotides 16287 to 16350 from the 5′ end which were not sequenced. The genetic structure of the monocistronic polynucleotides was confirmed by sequence analysis. Several spontaneous point mutations were also identified. These nucleotide substitutions were not encoded in the pFLC P+V cDNA and thus arose during propagation of the virus in cell culture. Coding substitutions identified included mutations Phe25Leu and Leu27Pro in the V protein, and Asn1120His and Asp1892Asn in the L protein. Western blot analysis of protein extracts from the infected cells confirmed that V protein was produced by rV94 P+V (FIG. 7B).
The growth kinetics of rV94 P+V in Vero cells was similar to that of rdel1724 (FIG. 8), which grew at a moderately slower rate than rV94Not. However, the peak virus titers of rV94 P+V and rdel1724, which are an important consideration for the manufacture of live-vaccine viruses, were comparable to that of rV94Not.
The ability of rV94 P+V to replicate at higher temperatures (37-40° C.) was also examined. rV94 P+V was found to be highly ts with a shut-off temperature of 38° C. (Table 3). In contrast, rV94 and rV94 N/A/B did not exhibit significant shut off even at 40° C. Replication of a previously described recombinant HPIV2 expressing the RSV fusion F protein from a supernumerary gene unit inserted upstream of the HPIV2 N ORF (rV94 RSV-F; WO 04/027037) was found to not be restricted at 39 or 40° C. (Table 3). This data indicated an increase in the number of inserted supernumerary gene units or an increase in genome length was not responsible for the ts phenotype of rV94 P+V. Recombinant HPIV3 with gene unit insertions has been shown to exhibit a moderate level of temperature sensitivity (Skiadopoulos et al., 2000; Skiadopoulos et al., 2002). The basis for this phenomenon, however, is not known.
Replication of rV94 P+V in hamsters was examined as described in Example 1. rV94 P+V was approximately 800-fold restricted in replication in the upper respiratory tract and approximately 100-fold restricted in lower respiratory tract of hamsters (FIG. 1 and Table 3) compared to parent viruses rV94Not and rV94 N/A/B. Similarly, recombinant HPIV2 expressing RSV F protein (rV94 RSV-F) was attenuated for replication in the upper and lower respiratory tract of hamsters. The basis for the high level of attenuation conferred by these supernumerary gene unit insertions is not known. The level of attenuation, however, is more pronounced than that observed in other recombinant paramyxoviruses including additional gene units (e.g., HPIV3 and HPIV1) (Skiadopoulos et al., 2000; Skiadopoulos et al., 2002).
Replication of rV94 P+V in African green monkeys was examined as described in Example 1. As shown in FIG. 4 and Table 4, rV94 P+V was approximately 250-fold restricted for replication in the lower respiratory tract of African green monkeys compared to biologically derived V94. rV94 P+V was approximately 6-fold restricted for replication in the upper respiratory tract of African green monkeys compared to parent rV94Not virus. This difference, however, is not statistically significant. It remains to be determined whether attenuation in monkeys conferred by the T15C substitution in the 3′ leader is additive to attenuation conferred by the P/V gene rearrangement. Attenuation of rV94 P+V in hamsters was independent of the T15C mutation as both rV94Not and rV94 P+V possessed the mutation and rV94 P+V was significantly more restricted in replication than rV94Not. The independent contribution of the P+V rearrangement to attenuation for African green monkeys will be determined by constructing and characterizing V94 P+V lacking the T15 C mutation.
Although the rV94 P+V vaccine candidate is highly attenuated for replication in monkeys, it conferred a high level of protection against the wild type HPIV2 challenge virus (Table 5). Thus, the P/V ORF rearrangement and supernumerary polynucleotide insertion are useful as a method of conferring an attenuation phenotype to HPIV2. Importantly, the attenuating effect of the gene rearrangement, similar to that of the codon substitutions and deletion mutations described in Examples 1 and 2, should be genetically and phenotypically stable following replication in vivo.
The ability to recover recombinant HPIV2 encoding P and V proteins from separate genes will be valuable in examining the domain structure of the V protein and for introducing attenuating V protein mutations. Candidate sites for mutations in V protein are summarized in FIG. 9. These include mutations in the highly conserved cysteine-rich carboxy-terminal domain, a critical domain of the V protein shown to bind zinc ions and to play a major role in several V protein activities in other paramyxoviruses. Mutations in the N-terminal half of V protein directly affect RNA binding or STAT binding and degradation may be used to attenuate HPIV2. Useful mutations will minimally impact virus replication in vitro, disable the ability of the virus to block interferon response resulting in virus that are more immunogenic, and/or attenuate virus replication in a human host. Mutations at the indicated sites include, but are not limited to, amino acid substitutions or deletion of the indicated residues.
